“The MAGICAL World of the Honeybee”

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club will be hosting a SPECIAL PRESENTATION next Tuesday evening, April 8th at 6pm called, “The MAGICAL World of the Honeybee” which will cover an array of information—from the different casts of bees within the hive, their individual roles and why an entire hive is considered a “superorganism”. 

In addition to the honeybee, our guest speaker, Julie Mazzoleni, former Vice President of the Brown County Beekeepers Association will introduce us to the many diverse and essential native bees and pollinators we see in our gardens and yards every day, highlighting their critical role in maintaining a strong and healthy ecosystem. She will discuss the challenges these pollinators are facing and the simple things we can do to help them thrive. 

As a beekeeper for over ten years and an active member of the Brown County Beekeepers Association, Julie also coordinated the club’s annual beekeeping class and taught youth educational experiences. These days she promotes native plants in her position as Chair of the Grant Committee for Green Bay Wild Ones and she leads environmental projects as Chair of the Stewardship and Resources Committee for the Waupaca Chain O’ Lakes Association.  She is passionate about educating youth in beekeeping and was recognized for her efforts receiving the Wisconsin Honey Producers Association (WHPA) Education Award at their 2022 Fall Convention. 

This month’s program will take place in the CLUB ROOM which is located in the BACK of Town Square in downtown Green Lake and will be FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  Enter at the rear of the building off Water Street. There is ample parking near the doorway for those with disabilities, and another parking area a level below. Bring a snack to share if you wish, beverages will be available for purchase. 

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club meets every second Tuesday of the month, from September through May. We welcome anyone with an interest in birds and nature.
