This month's lecture will be conducted by beekeeper George
DeMarino. DeMarino will speak about the lives of honey bees and cover
their social structure, interaction and importance to people. A
fifteen minute video will be shown.
DeMarino said he has been fascinated by bees since he was seven years old
and watched beekeeping demonstrations at the Topfields Agriculture Fair
in his native Massachusetts. He kept bees for 17 years in New
England and New York. He is a member of the North
East Florida Honey Bee Association and the Jacksonville
Beekeeper Association. DeMarino has conducted
numerous lectures on honey bees at area garden clubs, schools and
libraries.
DeMarino has lived in Jacksonville for eleven years. He has been a
certified master gardener for eight years and oversees the gardens at the
Walter Jones Historical Park.
