Bee photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher joins veteran beekeeper Bill Weinerth as they share their enthusiasm for honeybees, on December 10 at 3:00 pm at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula. The museum has its own working beehive for visitors to observe.

Weinerth has been a beekeeper for more than 50 years, and will talk about the past, present, and future of honeybees, describe his methods, and show the tools of his unusual trade. In contrast, Fisher is a fine artist who became fascinated with bees, and she will present her extreme close-up photography of them, taken with a scanning electron microscope. Her bee images are on exhibition at the museum through January 29. Admission to the Museum includes the bee presentations, and is $4 adults, $3 seniors, and $1 children 6-17. Children under 6 are admitted free, as are Members of the Museum of Ventura County, of which the Agriculture Museum is a satellite.

The museum includes eight vintage tractors, dating from 1914 to 1955, including one upon which children can sit. Exhibits using rare historical photographs and interactive elements tell the story of Ventura County’s farming and ranching tradition.

The Agriculture Museum is open 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, and is located at 926 Railroad Avenue, beside the railroad tracks and across from the depot in downtown historic Santa Paula. For more information, call 805-525-3100, or go to www.venturamuseum.org.
