To Bee or Not to Bee . . .

Bees in Holland?

The mysterious vanishing of the honey bee and the potential havoc that could be unleashed by their disappearance have been causing quite a stir in scientific and farming communities around the country.  However, did you know that our very own Holland City Council has been discussing bees as well, specifically the issue of whether or not to allow beekeeping in our lovely city?  Herrick District Library has a wealth of resources to help you educate yourself on this very important issue. Check out our many books on this topic, as well as the very informative documentary, Vanishing of the Bees.

Discussion of the beekeeping ordinance here in Holland will ensue during the August 21st City Council Meeting, held at 7:00 pm at City Hall.  The public is welcome, so if you have an opinion on this hot topic, please make your voice heard.
