Dr. Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 29, 2014
Media Contact: Teresa Izzo 508-896-3867, ext.137 tizzo at ccmnh.org

  Noah Wilson-Rich founded The Best Bees Company 
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. “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." 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.

Weather permitting; we will open our beehives at 
12:30pm, 1:45pm & 2pm with   Beekeeper George 
Muhlebach.  Volunteers will also be stationed at 
our indoor observation hive in the Museum to answer visitor questions.
