Presenter: Debbie Wong
Location: Niles Discovery Church 36600
Niles Blvd, Fremont, CA 94536 (corner of Nursery Ave. & Niles Blv
d.)
February’s meeting is all about birds and bees, literally! Ok
ay, it is more about bees. Considering herself an accidental
beekeeper, Debbie, has been keeping bees for 6years. Her hives h
ave had die outs during winter, disease, zombie bees, etc. M
ore interesting and rewarding are the daily routines of the waggle dan
ce, the arrival of bees with pollen packages of various colors (a
nd guessing what flowers), and the harsh reality of mortuary&nbs
p;bees hauling or dragging unhealthy or aged bees out of the hives, wh
ile the “guilty” party is still alive and kicking! Debbie practic
es topbar beekeeping, not the common arrangement of bees in a&nb
sp;stack of standard boxes. She will share tales of beekeeping and tel
l how birds react to her hives.
Debbie Wong, besides being your Ohlone program chair and a backyard beekeeper, has been a docent in the Asian Art Museum since 2011 and a bird bander sin ce 2000. She enjoys travel (for birds and culture), gardening, reading,&nbs p;cooking, and attending symphony concerts and operas.
