Ten years ago, Marina Marchese fell in love with bees during a tour of a neighbor’s hives. Surprised to find that allowing docile honeybees to crawl across her hands instilled a serene tranquility and comfort, Marina quit her job, acquired her own bees, built her own hives, harvested honey, earned a certificate in apitherapy (the use of honey-bee products in medicinal healing) and eventually opened her own business.

Today, Red Bee Honey sells artisanal honey and honey-related products to shops and restaurants all over the country. Honeybee: Lessons Learned from an Accidental Beekeeper is one woman’s story, but it is also bursting with fascinating and practical information about all aspects of bees, beekeeping and honey, including: building a beehive; pollination and its importance in sustaining life; harvesting honey; healing with honey and apitherapy; and much more.  Recipes for food, drink and personal care products made of honey are included throughout — and Marchese will lead us in an artisanal honey tasting at the conclusion of her interview that evening.

With the challenge of colony collapse disorder threatening the future of honeybees today, spend an evening learning about these amazing creatures and how much they contribute to our lives.
