Books and beyond

The Standley Lake Public Library will host a free, one-hour program on the basics of beekeeping on August 20th from 6-7pm. The presenter will be Greg Rye, owner of Dakota Bees in Lakewood.

Few hobbies have the potential to impact the local ecology the way beekeeping can, and we hope to see you at what promises to be a great program. But if you are interested in beekeeping and cannot attend, please check out some of the library’s many books on this fascinating topic. Some recent titles include:
