Uncover the Sweet History and Vital Future of Beekeeping!
Join a member of the Pemi-Baker Beekeepers Association for an engaging exploration of the captivating world of honeybees—some of nature’s most vital and industrious pollinators.
Uncover the rich history of beekeeping in the White Mountains, a tradition that dates back to the mid-1700s. Learn how bee colonies function with astonishing complexity and why their survival is crucial to the health of our ecosystems.
You'll gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate workings of the bee colony and the critical role these pollinators play in our environment. We'll also discuss the challenges and opportunities facing beekeepers today and explore practical ways we can help protect bee populations and their habitats.
This program is part of the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street exhibition, Crossroads: Change in Rural America, on exhibit at Museum of the White Mountains through August 9, 2025.
