Honey bee drones are the Rodney Dangerfields of the bee world, they (often) get no respect! Learn all about the amazing drones and their mysterious drone congregation areas (and how to find them using the other kind of drone) at this informative talk.

This meeting is in person and our speaker will be joining us IN-PERSON. There is not an option for participants to join virtually.  Please join us at 7 PM to allow time to socialize and chat with other members of the club.  Our live speaker presentation will begin at 7:30 PM. 

The location is Norfield Congregational Church located at 64 Norfield Rd in Weston, CT. Even though the event is free and open to the public, please register at https://backyardbeekeepers.com.
