FAIR HILLÂ â The next time Bradford Luff teaches his beginning beekeeper class for Cecil Land Trust he s going to let his students in on a few secrets in advance. Don t wear black. The only natural enemy of the honeybee is the bear, Luff, vice president of the Susquehanna Beekeepers Association, said to his five students Saturday morning.
He added that wearing red is also not a good idea because the bees see it as black.
As each student donned the protective gear a long sleeved jacket complete with a screened in hood and gloves, Luff urged them to move slow so as not to antagonize the bees swarming in and out of a collection of hives on the property off Blake Road.
Cecil County Farm Museum and Regional Agricultural Center is poised to open its doors to the public next month.
There was a sneak preview Wednesday for officials of Cecil County and Maryland as well as Cecil County Public Schools.
The center is located on Appleton Road in Elk Mills and shares the campus of the Cecil County School of Technology.
Jeffrey Lawson, superintendent of the schools, said he sees the center becoming part of the curriculum.
âI think itâs a great idea to bring some of our students through in a field trip setting,â Lawson said after touring the buildings, which include living displays, vintage and antique farm technology and a classroom. âHere they can experience and learn more about the local community.â
