There are so many reasons to keep honeybees – to support pollinators, for the joy of observing them at work, and for the honey, propolis & beeswax that beekeepers can collect.

Join Master Beekeeper Karen Thurlow for three sessions to help you get ready for your first season keeping bees. She will prepare you for the earliest decisions you’ll have to make when starting out: what equipment to get (and where), how to put together a new hive and where to situate it, and what bees to order and in what “form” (package or nuc). Karen will also introduce you to the lives of bees themselves – what their roles and basic needs are – as well as what you need to look for when inspecting your hive(s), and what each of the four seasons as a beekeeper will require of you. 

*This is a 3 part webinar series with sessions taking place on: January 24, January 25, & January 31 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. All sessions will be recorded & the recordings shared with registrants. We will reserve February 1 as a snow date in case of power or internet outages. 

The Midcoast Community Chorus will return to the stage with Poetry in Song, a concert celebrating choral music inspired by poetry.

This year’s concert will feature a special guest appearance by The Maine Steiners, the University of Maine's premier all-male a cappella group.

Over 100 singers and local musicians, led by Artistic Director Kim Murphy and accompanist Matt Mainster, will present an inspiring and diverse program of songs, largely drawn from poems. Some of the featured poets include Sara Teasdale, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, and Harriet Prescott Spofford. The concert will feature works that have been set to music, highlighting the emotional depth and lyrical power of poetry in a choral setting.

Tickets are $20 and $30 and are available at The Grasshopper Shop in Rockland, The Green Store in Belfast, and online at mccsings.org/tickets.
