[TheUWfarm] This week at the Farm: Harvest, Honey, and Pizza Bake

Hey Folks-

Lots going on at the Farm:
Wednesday 8/21 from 9am-1pm, we'll be harvesting down at the CUH. And, as always, farmers get a cut of the produce. 

Saturday 8/24 from 10am-4pm at the Botany Greenhouse, we've got a whole day of action. We'll be assisting the Bee Course in their honey harvest, bring a container for extra honey! And in the afternoon we'll be baking pizzas in the wood-oven, bring some toppings to share. 

About the Bee Course:
The Bee Course is a summer internship program that teaches bee biology, pollination, and beekeeping in a scientific context. Students learn to keep bees and participate in group projects that investigate a certain aspect of the bee world. The course is funded by student fees, honey sales, and donations. Students also participate in community projects and the bee hives also serve the purpose of general public education.

Hope to see everyone out this week!
