Honey Bees & Bee-yond
Our program in January 2019 was a delightful and very informative presentation all about bees. Georgia is home to some 500 species of bees, many of these bees can be found in backyards around Decatur, GA.
Peter Helfrich, the chairperson of Bee City USA gave us a crash course in honey bees and many other tyeps of native bees.
We learned valuable tips for creating a bee friendly yard as well as the type of flowers that bees love.
Mr. Helfrich was kind enough to create a PDf of the presentation and you can click here to download it.

Our March program speaker was Chris Adams, an avid traveler, sailor and a Master Gardener since 2006. She was the 2016 president of the North Fulton Master Gardeners and the Sandy Springs Garden Club for 2013-2015.
