The Gaughans will discuss methods for inserting the bees into their new home and the use of tools for hive inspections. Learn about honeybee behavior, the role of the queen, and proper brood patterns. Discover where propolis, flower pollen, and royal jelly come from and the medicinal benefits we can reap from the honeybee byproducts.  Honey will be available for tasting and purchasing.

Join us as Doug Waller, Founder of the Southeastern Ohio Society for Bigfoot Investigation (SOSBI), gives an intriguing presentation on Bigfoot.

Waller has published three books on Bigfoot: Standing in the Shadows, Hidden Encounters and Screams in the Night. In 2008, he founded SOSBI, as a way for people to gather and discuss Bigfoot among others with the same interests and without ridicule.
