Dennis’ pictures are also featured in two books: “Wapusk, White Bear of the North”, and “The Land Where the Sky Begins”, which are available in our gift shop. This exhibit is sponsored by: June 26 November 30, 2008 Honey: The Story of Beekeeping on the Canadian Prairies
Why is honey called the “ethical sweetener”? Why do the Canadian prairies produce more honey per bee than anywhere else in the world? How can honeybees survive the harsh prairie winter? How do those little critters actually make honey, and how do beekeepers get it out of the honeycombs? What in the world is a skep? Find out the answers to these questions and more at this exciting exhibit featuring hands-on beekeeping equipment, unique specimens, and rare historical beekeeping artifacts. Oh yeah, and try on one of those neat beekeepers’ veils! From September 1 to November 30 this exhibit will be part of a school program exploring honey, bees, and their place in our world. Teachers should call the museum (204) 326-9661 for more details. Funding for this exhibit was provided by |
