CURRENTS
Teaming Up With Pennsylvania Beekeepers
During the 106th Pennsylvania Farm Show, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) Executive
Director Tim Schaeffer and Communications Director Mike
Parker participated in the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers
Association Celebrity Honey Extraction Contest. The fun,
educational event spreads the word about the importance of
bees and shows how much work goes into just one jar of local
honey. Schaeffer and Parker were the fastest team to fill a jar
of honey from a raw honeycomb, but the Pennsylvania State
Police were awarded first place for quality control. In return
for the PFBC's participation, the Beekeepers promised to help
stock trout this spring.
Winter Ice Safety
On January 28, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission held a news conference at the Fort Hunter
Access in Harrisburg to warn the public about the dangers
of walking onto the frozen Susquehanna River. Due to an
extended period of freezing temperatures this winter, the
Susquehanna River and many other rivers and streams
have become covered with a thick crust of ice. However,
unlike frozen lakes and ponds which can provide safe
recreational opportunities such as ice fishing, it is never
safe to walk on the frozen surface of moving water.
