Our State Insect: The Honeybee

10/23/2021 | First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site | St. Charles, MO

Join us at First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site to learn about raising our state insect: the honeybee!

We will be joined by Three Rivers Beekeepers, a fast-growing beekeeping club located in St. Peters, Missouri. The program will cover why honeybees are such amazing pollinators, how the social structure of a honeybee hive works, and the current threats to the honeybee populations and what we can do to help.

Three Rivers Beekeepers’ monthly club meetings cover a wide spectrum of timely beekeeping subjects. They also offer specialty workshops such as Beginning Beekeeping, Intermediate/Advanced Beekeeping, and Queen Rearing. 

Three Rivers Beekeepers also has a small group of education outreach volunteers who visit schools, scouting groups, summer camps, garden clubs and community events to boost honeybee awareness and stewardship.

This program is part of the Heritage Lecture Series, held in commemoration of Missouri’s bicentennial. For more information, please call First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site at 636-940-3322, or visit our interpretive center at 200 S. Main St. in St. Charles.
