RANGELEY – The Summer Sunday Nature Program at Orgonon, the Wilhelm Reich Museum, on Aug. 17 will be a presentation on “Bees” by Tony Jadczak, state apiarist and bee inspector.
Jadczak has held the position of Maine apiarist since 1983. After attending Rutgers University, where he majored in entomology and specialized in apiculture, he worked at the Rutgers Entomology Department under Radclyffe Roberts for four years. There he researched blueberry, cranberry and asparagus pollination, honeybee disease control and the chronic effects of pesticides on honeybees.
His responsibilities in Maine include honeybee inspection and regulation, apicultural extension, crop pollination and technology transfer to industry.
Participants may bring questions regarding bees.
They will meet at the outdoor classroom at 2 p.m. All Sunday nature programs are free.
The Observatory building, Dodge Pond Road, details the life and work of physician/scientist Wilhelm Reich, whose interest in the natural environment led to the introduction of the Sunday Nature Programs in 1989. Adult admission is $6; children under age 12 free. For more information, call the museum at 864-4334.
