FISH of Sanibel-Captiva will hold its next Friendly Faces Luncheon on Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. at The Community House, at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.<\/p>\n
The featured guest speaker will be local beekeeper and Sanibel Honey owner Brad MacKenzie. He will share the story of his business and discuss the role bees play in the island\u2019s ecology and community. MacKenzie will talk about the life cycle of the honey bee, role of managed bees in the United States, and how Sanibel\u2019s natural environment \u2014 and its recovery following the recent hurricanes \u2014 creates a unique setting for beekeeping.<\/p>\n
He moved to Sanibel several years ago and began his beekeeping journey shortly after, growing his operation to dozens of hives located throughout the island, many located in homeowners\u2019 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrad\u2019s story is a great example of how people and nature are connected here on Sanibel, and we\u2019re excited to welcome him and our neighbors for another lunch and learn event,\u201d FISH Senior Services Director Erika Arnowitz said.<\/p>\n
A complimentary lunch will be provided thanks to sponsor Chuck Bergstrom, with the RE\/MAX Realty Group.<\/p>\n
