Bennington County Beekeepers’ Club

2:00 p.m. hive visit


We’ll be meeting at Melany and John Letourneau’s bee yard on Mount Anthony Rd. in Pownal.  Bring a veil, gloves, a drink and sunscreen.  We’ll be looking into hives and discussing what we see, what’s going on and what beekeeper management might be coming up next.  




In Pownal go to Mount Anthony Rd. by turning west from Route 7 at the Pownal Center Fire House (North Pownal Rd.) and travel west till you see Mount Anthony Rd.  It will be the next right after passing Carpenter Hill Rd.  Travel north from the foot of Mt Anthony Rd., about 100 yards up on the left look for the bee hives.


From New York, take Route 22 to Route 346 in North Petersburg.  Travel a few miles on 346 till you have crossed into Pownal, at the first major turn in the road take a left onto North Pownal Rd.  It’s just past the N. Pownal post office and just before a garage called Jelley’s and a congregational church.  Travel up N. Pownal Rd. till you see the turn for Mt. Anthony Rd on the left.  I believe it’s the second road on the right.  Travel north from the foot of Mt. Anthony Rd., about 100 yards up on the left look for the bee hives.


From Bennington you can take Mt. Anthony Rd. to the south and travel all the way to almost the other end.  The road may be muddy and / or bumpy but it’s scenic.  Some would rather drive to Pownal Center and travel to the beeyard as is stated above.
