Beekeeping workshop organized by Elizabeth River Project

The Elizabeth River Project organized a beekeeping workshop featuring local beekeepers Lacy Shirey and Bill Gregory, focusing on bee care and supporting local pollinators. Despite the adverse effects of a recent nor'easter on bees, Shirey emphasized that residents can aid pollinators without having a hive. At Paradise Creek Nature Park in Portsmouth, she noted that weather changes can significantly affect honeybee behavior, with the current storm causing agitation among the bees.
