</b>Noah Wilson-Rich founded <i>The Best Bees Company</i> in his
Boston apartment while getting his PhD at Tufts University. Best Bees
supplies gardeners and any other interested parties with beehives, as
well as the resources, materials and appropriate consultation for their
upkeep. This service is a non-traditional means of raising money for
research to improve honey bee health. In addition to providing this
service in the Boston area, Noah has been keeping bees on Cape Cod since
2010. <i>“The Cape is a very special place for bees. I set up two
research apiaries in Truro in 2011, where my research laboratory has
tested experimental vaccines to increase honey bee health."</i>
Profits from installing and managing these honey beehives go to fund
Wilson-Rich's research into bee diseases. Noah’s presentation will
include a discussion of his research, why Cape Cod is a special place for
honey bees and how sustainable gardening begins with honey bees.<br><br>
Weather permitting; we will open our beehives at <b>12:30pm, 1:45pm &
2pm </b>with Beekeeper George Muhlebach. Volunteers
will also be stationed at our indoor observation hive in the Museum to
answer visitor questions.<br>
