Bee Keeping and Flight
Speaker: Larry Krengel
Synopsis: Larry is the President of Sky Soaring, tow pilot and the resident bee keeper.
As Larry says,
"In moving to the country,
I found myself developing an association not only with gliders, but also with apis melifera...
the honeybee, that is. They first came to me in a swarm. I was fascinated by them and now,
years later, have continued to husband the bees. The bees and I have a camaraderie.
I enjoy their company. Sometimes they enjoy mine." Larry has been bee keeping for decades and
has taught bee keeping for 10 years.
Thus far he has convinced two other Sky Soaring members to start keeping bees.
Come and enjoy Larry's talk about this
fascinating airborne hobby.
