Bees and Beekeeping Presentations
As a participant in the Texas Master Beekeeping program, I promote bees and beekeeping through voluntary public service. I am happy to speak to your school, church, or service organization. I have spoken to a wide range of groups including elementary school classes, bird watching enthusiasts, bee club meetings, and adult political groups.

The Presentations
Presentations can be tailored to your needs. Typically the talks are about 45 minutes with plenty of time for questions and discussion. I usually bring props such as bee hive parts (no bees), honey for tasting, a bee suit, etc. A video projector with an HDMI port, or connected to a PowerPoint computer is preferred, but not required. Here are some presentation ideas for your consideration:
