My two boys recently learned about beekeeping at school. Now they\u2019re trying to convince me and my wife to take the plunge and start producing honey in our backyard.<\/p>\n

While the idea is intriguing, we don\u2019t know the first thing about tending hives and harvesting honey. So I was very excited to learn that the Los Angeles Obscura Society<\/a> andThe Velaslavasay Panorama<\/a> are hosting beekeeper Max Wong for a discussion about urban beekeeping. Max is a member of The Backwards Beekeepers<\/a>, an organic beekeeping club in Los Angeles, and owner of a backyard that is home to five hives, thousands of bees, and one turtle.<\/p>\n

Wong will answer all of your bee-related questions, discuss why bees are vanishing, and share information about the legalization and legislation of bees. She will also have a demonstration hive with live bees on hand for this event.<\/p>\n

If you do attend this event, be sure to spend time in The Velaslavasay Panorama\u2019s beautiful garden. It\u2019s full of small, intimate spaces where you can sit, relax and enjoy a wide variety of plants.  I also highly recommend you experience the Effulgence of the North<\/em> \u2013 described as \u201ca panoramic exploration of the limitless horizon which lies beyond a frigid terrain, illuminated by the ethereal Aurora Borealis.\u201d I spent about 20 minutes immersed in this wonderful, calming installation that masterfully melds sculpture, painting, light and music to great effect. It\u2019s located in a darkened upstairs space that is reached by climbing a twisting staircase.<\/p>\n
