The center has had honey bees on the property cheap herve leger dress for six years but got a hive only four years ago. Since then the number of hives has grown to seven and in the last year the center finished converting an old pig barn into a "honey house" for extracting honey from the bees' honey combs, Weyker said.
To get the honey, beekeepers have to remove honey comb from the hive, shoo away any stuck bees, scrape off a wax cap the bees put over the honey and then let the honey drip out, said Joannie Williams, a local beekeeper who gave presentations on bees at the Eco-Justice Center Sunday.
That honey-extraction process has been made easier for Eco Justice Center staff by the new honey house, which provides space to work and also boasts a grant-acquired honey extraction machine that spins honey comb to make the honey drip herve leger dress on sale out, Williams said.
Before the honey house was complete, Eco-Justice Center staff would have to take their hives to a master beekeeper's house to extract the honey. But it was a long and laborious process, Weyker said.
"Every hive gets 60 pounds of honey," she said, "so it was a lot of moving. It's good for us to have our own honey house."
Weyker extracted honey in the honey house for the first time in August and got more than 100 jars of honey, she told Fall Festival attendees Sunday during her presentation.
Attendee Moriah Butler, 25, listened intently and watched carefully as Weyker handled bees and honey comb.
"We're looking at wanting to get bee hives ourselves," said Butler, from Allenton, "so it was good to get background info and see a hive in action."
In a speech to the U.N. Human Rights Council, he said: "The government of Yemen expresses its sorrow and condemnation for all acts of violence and bloodshed as those that happened yesterday in Sanaa. The government will investigate and hold accountable all those in charge of these acts."
Sanaa for months has been divided between Mohsen's defected troops and loyalist forces in a maze of checkpoints, roadblocks and armored vehicles that many worry could quickly tip inflamed tensions into military herve leger long sleeve dress confrontation.
Protesters on Monday managed to extend the territory of their camp by around one km, and hundreds slept there overnight. Ali Mohsen's troops entered the area and were fortifying it with sandbags.
The new staked-out area brought protesters and the defected troops backing them within 500 meters of Ahmed Ali Saleh, the president's son and head of the Republican Guard units loyal to the government.
Yemen for months has been mired in a political stalemate as Saleh, who is currently being treated in Saudi Arabia after an June assassination attempt, clings to power despite mass protests across the country.
Unrest extended to the south of Yemen as well.
In Taiz, another hotbed of anti-government protests, opposition sources said there was heavy shelling overnight by security forces after they too held large rallies on Sunday.
In the southern port city of Aden, witnesses said some residents were burning cars and blocking roads with rocks, frustrated by long hours without electricity as temperatures rose to 54 degrees Celsius
