SUMMARY:October 21\, 2025 - General Meeting - Bees
DESCRIPTION:General Meeting at St. Mark’s Presbyterian\, Knox Room and via Zoom. \n“Pollinators\, Pesticides\, and Africanized Bees” \nSpeaker: Monica King – Southern Arizona Beekeepers Association \nMonica King is a third generation beekeeper\, continuing in the family field that was started in 1936. In her adolescence her parents raised queen bees and were commercial migratory honey producers. In her teens the family focused full time on queen rearing.  Monica’s parents over the years became world-renowned. Today\, Monica specializes in working with Africanized bees. She removes them live\, from unwanted locations\, takes them to her apiary where they undergo honeybee “rehab”. She changes the hives genetics to the more docile European strains. Monica also teaches new beekeepers and encourages pollinator protection by doing talks and presentations on these topics. \n“Pollinators\, Pesticides\, and Africanized Bees” is a presentation that takes attendees on a journey from worldwide pollinators and their importance to the Sonoran Desert and the status of our backyard honey bees. With over 1 million colonies lost nationwide in the past couple years\, it is more important than ever to discuss what we can do to help save the pollinators. The honey bee is the poster child and beekeepers looking into our hives are sounding the alarm. Let’s put food on our tables in a more sustainable and environmentally conscience way. It starts with you soiling your hands. \nIn conjunction with this presentation\, we have a members-only tour of Native Seeds Search on October 15.

SUMMARY:October 28 - Organic Gardening in Tucson's Desert for the Absolute Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 28  on Zoom at 6:30 pm.  Click HERE for Zoom access \nOrganic Gardening in Tucson’s Desert for the Absolute Beginner is a supplemental presentation by TOG Board member\, Melody Peters. This online talk is geared to those wanting the basics of starting an organic garden in Tucson — those totally new to gardening as well as more experienced gardeners who are new to the desert or in the process of switching over to organic gardening practices. We will talk about the philosophy behind organic gardening followed by basics such as choosing a garden site\, digging your garden\, basic soil ecology\, the use of compost\, mulch and organic soil amendments\, and the importance of planting the right crops at the right time of year. This Zoom talk is a repeat from August 26. \nSince her retirement as an art educator\, Melody has been devoting much of her time to gardening and gardening groups. A long-time member of TOG and a frequent TOG Board member\, she has also served for 13 years as coordinator of Rincon Heights Community Garden. You can meet her in person at TOG’s semi-annual fairs where she sells plants to benefit the Pollinator Equity Project\, an endeavor that raises native pollinator plants for donation to sectors of the Tucson community that cannot afford to buy them.
