DESCRIPTION:Mead is honey wine\, made by fermenting honey in water. It’s one of the simplest fermented beverages\, but it offers a wide range of flavors depending on ingredients and process.This four-class series is a hands-on introduction to making mead with Norris Childs. Each session focuses on a different stage of production\, from starting the fermentation through aging and finishing. You’ll work together as a group to make a single batch of mead\, and at the end of the series\, each participant will take home a bottle from that batch.The class will also decide whether to make a traditional mead using only honey\, or to include additional flavorings.The first class meets on Saturday\, April 4\, with sessions every other Saturday through May 16. Reminder emails will be sent before each class. \n\n\n\nAbout Norris\n\n\n\n\nNorris in his honey house with some of his mead and a lot of different honey. This workshop takes place at Norris’ house so in addition to learning about making Mead you’ll be able to experience one of the most magical honey spots in Philadelphia. \n\n\n\n\nA native Philadelphian and GFS graduate\, he spent two years in college before serving 2½ years in the Peace Corps in India\, teaching farmers to grow hybrid corn and sorghum. He went on to medical school\, followed by six years of surgical residency and three years of laboratory research. Returning to Philadelphia in 1980\, he began a surgical practice—and took up beekeeping. In 1989\, he joined the U.S. Navy and was deployed to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War in 1991.

SUMMARY:Eve Bratman - Guild Monthly Meeting - Third Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Pennsylvania beekeepers have long been on the front lines of confronting the spotted lanternfly outbreak. But are spotted lanternflies as disgusting\, nasty\, and pestilent as they were first made out to be?   In this talk\, Dr. Bratman will present her forthcoming publication (accepted to Gastronomica) with her co-author\, Anna Purchase (F&M class of ’26)\, on better understanding spotted lanternfly honey\, inter-species relationality\, and the changing attitudes and aesthetics surrounding learning to live with pests. They find present evidence of changing relations between beekeepers and lanternflies\, and interrogate the discrete and unexpected ways in which lanternfly management and the insect itself are entangled in beekeepers’ lives. \n\n\n\n\nBio:Eve Bratman is a political ecologist and Associate Professor of Environmental Studies in the Department of Earth & Environment at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster\, PA\, USA.  She is author of an award-winning book\, Governing the Rainforest: Sustainable Development in the Brazilian Amazon (Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, and has published over twenty peer-reviewed articles about the politics of pollinator protection\, energy infrastructures\, environmental education\, and urban sustainability in venues including People and Nature\, Earth Stewardship\, Development and Change\, Antipode\, Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences\, and Orion Magazine. Her next book-in-progress is tentatively called Bee Politics: Ending the War on Nature while Fighting to Save the Bees. \n\n\n\nWe meet at 7pm at St. James School.  🐝

SUMMARY:Guild Monthly Meeting - Mark and Milan
DESCRIPTION:This month we have three speakers you won’t find anywhere else! \n\n\n\nMilan Williams and Tifanny Turrentine PHD from Lankenau High School will present Milan’s research on the antimicrobial properties of Philadelphia Honey. Under Tifanny’s supervision Milan tested local honeys for their ability to kill bacteria following a protocol developed by Ferat Ozturk from UTexas. She compared our local honeys including Spotted Lanternfly Honeydew to Manuka and other well known anti-microbial honey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark will be presenting on how honeybees communicate using sound and vibration. This presentation explores the hidden language of honeybees – how they use sound and vibration to communicate within the hive. Blending core honeybee biology with behavioral insights\, it explains how bees perceive their world not just through sight and scent\, but through finely tuned sensitivity to vibration. The talk breaks down key communication methods\, including the famous waggle dance\, showing how bees transmit information about food sources through movement\, timing\, and subtle acoustic cues. It also introduces what sound actually is – vibrational energy moving through a medium – and how bees interpret these signals through their bodies and specialized sensory organs. Together\, these elements reveal a sophisticated\, largely invisible communication system that keeps the colony functioning as a unified whole. \n\n\n\nMark is a Philadelphia-based beekeeper in his 11th year of practice and the founder of Anna Bee’s Honey\, an urban apiary located in a four-acre community garden in South Philadelphia. Through hands-on education and immersive experiences\, Anna Bee’s Honey raises awareness about the importance of bees while helping people build a deeper connection to nature in the city. The apiary produces 100% pure raw honey and a range of hive products\, including candles\, lip balm\, raw pollen\, and beeswax luminaries\, and offers workshops\, presentations\, and a “Be a Beekeeper for a Day” experience. Mark serves on the board of the Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild\, helps teach the Guild’s introductory beekeeping class\, and supports events.  \n\n\n\nWe meet at 7pm at St. James School.  🐝

SUMMARY:Urban Beekeeping - Apiary Session
DESCRIPTION:This is now the first apiary session for our 2026 Urban Beekeeping Intro Class since the other first session in April was canceled. \n\n\n\nPlease review and sign the Guild Apiary Liability Waiver. Before you come. You can complete the form online below the PDF. \n\n\n\nYou don’t need to bring anything other than sensible shoes and casual dress to the apiary session. We will provide bee suits and expert guidance. \n\n\n\nAs to what’s sensible in shoe-wear\, it’s best to have something with a high top that the bee suit can cover. If you don’t have anything like that wear heavy socks that you can pull over the bee suit. This will protect your ankles. The rest of you including your hands will be covered. \n\n\n\n  We’ll be looking at colonies during the peak of the nectar flow as they rush to put away as much honey as possible while conditions are best. Swarming is still a possibility so we’ll be keeping an eye out for swarm signs. We will also discuss what to expect in the months to come as nectar dries up and we start to prepare for fall and winter.
