An Introduction to the World of Honey Bees with Eugene Makovec

Over the coming winter, Tower Grove Park’s beehives that are currently located in a behind-the-scenes area of the Park will be relocated to the newly updated West Gatehouse where they’ll become another facet of the Park’s environmental and education programs. 

In preparation for this exciting new Park feature, we’ve invited Eugene Makovec, a third-generation beekeeper, and Editor of the American Bee Journal to deliver a talk on the fundamental biology of honeybees and their significance in our culture, economy, and environment.
