Evening Presentation:
Honey is created by bees slurping up nectar and honeydew from plants all around us. The botanical sources used by bees affect the taste, color, and nutritional value of the honey, for bees and for human consumers alike. However, most people do not know the actual botanical sources of their favorite sweet, golden drizzle! Carey Yost and Jim Klyman, of Jim and Carey’s Happy Bees, return to the Lyman Museum to provide a fast flight through their recent scientific research on the botanical sources of Hawaiʻi honey. By the end of the program you’ll have a taste (literally!) of the initial environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis of honeys from Puna district apiaries … and Carey and Jim will touch on the potential of Citizen Scientists (maybe including you?) to expand our botanical databanks! Enjoy this informative and delicious program on two occasions: Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30. $3; free to Museum members. For details: (808) 935-5021 or www.lymanmuseum.org.
