Leatherstocking Beekeepers Association members discuss the joys of beekeeping with interested visitors. The association had an educational display at the two-day Harvest Festival at The Farmers Museum in Cooperstown. As interest continues to grow in “save the bees” and their critical pollination activity, the association had many new member requests.
