Beekeeping & Honey: The Sweet History of Honey (with a Honey Tasting)

DERBY - Derby Public Library will host an engaging and delicious program at 6 p.m. Aug. 2 with Catherine Wolko (The Bee Lady).

She is a second-generation beekeeper and owner of The Humble Bee Honey Company and The Hive @ The Pin, a Honey House and Farm Store in Watertown.

Why do we love honey so much? What makes honey so dark or so light? How many varieties of honey are there? Why does honey crystalize? Why doesn’t honey need to be pasteurized?

Learn the answers to these and many more questions during this fun, informative talk. All attendees will also get to taste (5) varietals of delicious honey from The Humble Bee Honey Company! Everyone who attends will receive recipes, seed catalogs, and a free sample copy of The American Bee Journal.

There will also be a drawing and giveaway for audience members!

The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.

Red Clover Farms in Seymour to hold Grand Opening Saturday

Sharing this from KimberlyThomas Warner's Facebook page:

"My great-Grandparents started as a dairy farm in Seymour, Ct. in 1918 as Slinka's farm. We are nestled in-between Bomba's and McConney's Farms in the Great Hill area. My great grandpa used to deliver milk in his horse and buggy, and we would also bring our milk to Bomba's farm to make cottage cheese.

"We are 4th generation and are so honored to continue our family's legacy.
"We invite you and your family to come to our farm for our Grand Opening on Saturday, June 5th.

"Step back into history. See where it all began."
