Bee Mites Cancel Grange Honey Harvest

Due to an infestation of bee mites and white moths, there will not be a “honey harvest” at the Historic Grange Estate this summer.

However, the Grange beekeepers will hold a “Bee Demonstration,” 1 p.m., July 21, that will include the six new hives — two Russian and four Carniolan hives — recently built and relocated on the property, a visit to the “bee house” to see the tools and clothing used by the beekeepers and observing live bees in a plexiglass box to see how they operate in the hive.

For questions or more information, call the Grange office at 610-446-4958 or e-mail grangeest@verizon.net.

The Historic Grange Estate is at 143 Myrtle Ave., Havertown, Pa. 19083
