Beekeeping and the Honey Industry from a Waupaca Perspective

Winchester Academy presents Beekeeping and the Honey Industry from a Waupaca Perspective
Kent Pegorsh is co-owner of Main Street Marketplace on Main Street in Waupaca. He has been producing honey for 47 years and currently manages almost 500 hives. Pegorsh will discuss the beekeeping year, how some of the best honey in the world is produced in our area, and how the great migration each year of over three quarters of the managed honey bee colonies in the United States to California insure the sustainability of our food supply. The presentation will finish with a tasting of varietal honeys.
This program is sponsored by Vic and Chris Anthony.
The Academy offers, on average, twenty-five programs annually. There is no membership required for attendance at programs. All are FREE of charge and open to the general public. Programs are usually held at the Waupaca Area Public Library on Monday evenings at 6:30. Other venues and days of the week are occasionally used for special seminars and musical programs (e.g., churches, or other sites that can accommodate larger crowds). Some programs might include controversial subject matter, but the Academy takes no position and seeks to provide balanced and reliable information.
