FLBC to Host Talk With Sam Comfort August 3rd at Cayuga Nature Center
Beekeeping innovator and speaker Sam Comfort is slated to speak at the Finger Lakes Beekeepers Club Apiary
Ithaca, NY – July 21, 2022 — Sam Comfort of Anarchy Apiaries will speak at the FLBC club apiary, located on “the back 40” of Cayuga Nature Center at 4:00pm Wednesday, August 3rd.
Sam has a unique approach to non-invasive and treatment-free beekeeping after spending many years in commercial beekeeping operations.
He will speak on his populist beekeeping methodology and his revolutionary “Comfort Hive” top-bar hive design. This rare apiary learning experience is open to all, regardless of beekeeping experience or club membership.
Join us and learn about a novel, affordable way to keep honey bees. If you have a veil, please bring it with you, as we have a limited number available at the apiary, and we will be actively opening hives. The physical address of our apiary is 2071 Houghton Road, Ithaca, NY 14850.

About Cayuga Nature Center
The Cayuga Nature Center provides indoor and outdoor programs and exhibits that encourage visitors to explore and understand the natural history of the Cayuga Lake Basin as part of the regional and global ecosystems. The Nature Center’s 100 acres of woodland and old field overlooking Cayuga Lake are home to a six-story treehouse, live native animals, a gorge and waterfall, and more than 5 miles of walking trails. The historic main lodge, built by the WPA in 1939, houses the largest public aquarium in the Finger Lakes – highlighting the fish life of Cayuga Lake past and present – as well as exhibits on local forest ecology, wildlife, and climate. The Nature Center was founded in 1981 to provide nature education opportunities to area youth, principally through summer camps. In 2013 it merged with the Paleontological Research Institution and expanded its onsite exhibits and programs. Follow on social media for more information: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn.
