Bee Apiaries
The Dade City Garden Club will present a program on Bee Apiaries at its March general membership meeting on Monday, March 17, 2025, at 9:30 am at the garden club. The presenter will be Dave Hackenberg of Hackenberg Apiaries, home of Buffy Bee Honey. After serving as the president of the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Association, the American Beekeeping Federation and as a member of the National Honey Board, Dave presently holds the position of co-chairman of the Honey Bee Health Advisory Board. He will be taking a look at commercial beekeeping's importance, how honey bees are related to your environment and human health, and how you can help.
Members will also conduct their annual election of officers and consider nominations for the garden club’s 2025 annual historic ornament at the March meeting. The ornament, which honors a local landmark or organization, will be for sale starting in September and will be the 32nd ornament issued in this exclusive Dade City collection.
The meeting will be held at The Dade City Garden Club at 13630 5th Street; Dade City, FL. Light refreshments will be served at 9 am with the membership meeting beginning promptly at 9:30 am.
