HONEY FESTIVAL, SEPTEMBER 10-12</SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif' COLOR: #0070c0"> </SPAN>Philadelphia
has a long history of “firsts” – from the first hospital to the first zoo to
the discovery of electricity, innovations of all kinds have happened here.
Beekeepers across the city and the United States are buzzing away, preparing
to celebrate another Philadelphia “first”– the invention of the movable frame
bee hive. December 2010 marks the 200<SUP><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">th</SPAN></SUP> birthday of Philadelphian Lorenzo L.
Langstroth, “The Father of American Beekeeping,” and inventor of the hive that
changed the future of apiculture forever. To celebrate his birthday, four
Philadelphia organizations have teamed up to present the Philadelphia Honey
Festival on the weekend of September 10-12, 2010. The coordinating partners
are the Wagner Free Institute of Science, Philadelphia Beekeepers G uild,
Bartram’s Garden and The Wyck Association, organizations invested in educating
the public about natural science.</P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> The festivities will kick off with the
placement of a historical marker at 106 South Front Street, the house where
Langstroth was born. The marker placement will be on Friday, September
10<SUP><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">th</SPAN></SUP><SPAN> at 3:30 PM, MC’d
by Kim Flottum, Editor of <EM>Bee Culture</EM> Magazine, and one of the
event’s sponsors, and includes a keynote address from Pennsylvania Secretary
of Agriculture, Russell Redding, an appearance by the Pennsylvania Honey
Queen, and will conclude with the viewing of Langstroth’s papers at the
American Philosophical Society. </SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> There will be something for everyone at
the festival, the three anchor sites, Wagner Institute, Bartram’s Garden and
The Wyck Association will be buzzing with events on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.</P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> What better place to celebrate the
importance of bees than right on the banks of the Schuylkill River at the
birthplace of American botany? Bartram’s Garden is the landmark home and
garden of America’s pioneering family of naturalists, botanists and explorers.
During the Honey Festival this Southwest Philadelphia site will appeal to
those interested in the history of beekeeping, and the aesthetic inspiration
these important pollinators provide. On Friday, Bartram’s Garden will host the
opening of the DaVinci Art Alliance exhibition aptly titled “What’s the Buzz,”
from 5 – 8 PM. On Saturday, September 11<SUP><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">th</SPAN></SUP>, and Sunday, September 12<SUP><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">th</SPAN></SUP><SPAN>, the Garden will be open all
day, for botanical illustration meetups and house tours. History buffs should
not miss the lecture, <I>History of American Bee Keeping 17 76-1810</I> on
Sunday afternoon at 1 PM, presented by Professor William Butler. His lecture
will be followed by a curator’s talk, <I>Bees in Art</I>, presented by Dr.
Debra Miller of DaVinci Art Alliance. </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN><SPAN>For those interested in starting
their own apiary, Historic Wyck is the place to be! This remarkable Germantown
site has been a home and a working farm for more than 250 years, and features
a nationally-known garden of old roses (over 30 varieties), originally planted
in the 1820s. Wyck will host three well-known beekeeping authorities on
Saturday from 12-4. <STRONG>Kim Flottum,</STRONG> editor of Bee Culture
Magazine, will discuss the <STRONG>Joys of Urban Beekeeping</STRONG>.
<STRONG>Elizabeth Capaldi Evans</STRONG>, Professor of Biology at Bucknell
University and author of the book, <I>Why do Bees Buzz? Fascinating Answers to
Questions about Bees</I> will discuss her work on bee behavior. <STRONG>Dean
Stiglitz</STRONG>, author of <I>The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beekeeping</I>
will talk about <STRONG>Natural Beekeeping</STRONG>. Also, Historian
<STRONG>Matt Redmon</STRONG> will do a short presentation about Lorenzo

listen to local folk rocker, Liam Gallagher, while you peruse goods from local
booksellers, bee artists and beekeepers. Beeswax candle-making, free
Häagen-Dazs ice cream treats, scavenger hunts, and the debut of the
Institute’s new native pollinator garden will sweeten the day for all who
attend. </P>
