Cuyahoga County Fair

The Crooked River Band melds classic rock and blues with a bit of soul.  Lead singer Earle Rogoff is a veteran of many stages, and the newest members of CRB.  He is backed by Craig Carpenter on rhythm guitar, Gene Stands on bass, banjo and harmnonica, and Mike Piskunoff on drums.

Throughout the week, in addition to our Honey Extraction demonstrations, we'll be hosting discussions in our Bee Barn about the importance of bees, pollen, apitherapy and beekeeping.

So what's all the buzz about?  Well, bees of course.  The oft under-appreciated honey bee is responsible for pollinating much of the world's agriculture.  They also produce honey... a favorite of both bears and people.  Given their declining populations due to disease, lack of diet diversity, pesticides and other factors, honey bees have been in the news over the past decade, which makes it more important than ever for bee-keepers around the world to help reinvigorate the honey bee population.  Needless to say, if there were no honey bees, we would all feel the sting.  So come check out our hive and learn how honey is extracted from honey combs.  You can even buy some of the honey produced on the fairgrounds--a sweet treat to help support our resident bee-keepers!
