Gloucester Ruritan Club president Henry “Hurricane” Thompson presented John Elkin Jr. a club mug in appreciation for his presentation to the civic group on beekeeping. Elkin has been a beekeeper for 15 years on his farm, Hunters LLC. He explained the varieties of honeybees, how they arrived in America via Jamestown in 1623, why they are crucial to pollination, as well as life cycles, colony life, reproduction, and survival skills. The club meets monthly at Anna’s Italian Pizza Restaurant. Pictured from left are Eric Engle, Elkin and Thompson.
