THE GENTLE BEE
Join local apiarist, Richard Elzby, a retired chemist and environmental engineer, as he shares his knowledge and concern for honeybees and pollinators – insects, which are at the very forefront of local as well as international news! The impact of corporate produced insecticides and pesticides are causing a ripple effect that may totally destroy pollinators and lead to shortages not only of honey but also of more than 35% of what we eat. Learn what is being done to stem the tide of huge losses of honeybees and what you can do about the situation we are facing.
OSFN Indoor Meetings are normally held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Bayshore Community Centre, 1900 3rd Ave E Owen Sound. There are no Indoor Meetings in July and August. Please see the individual event listings below for more details.
We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
