WAYNE COUNTY COUNCIL for the ARTS
CLASSES
We believe in art for all ages. Everyone can
benefit from participating in the arts and
classes are a good way to learn a new art or
develop a long time interest.
We offer classes that are either free or
affordable, taught by experienced artist
teachers who make learning fun through
supportive instruction. From kids’ art camps
during school vacations to adult classes in
a variety of media there is something for
everyone.
For information on more adult and children’s
classes, workshops and demo offerings
teaching opportunities, fees, dates and times,

MEMBERSHIP
Without the support of our members,
Wayne County Council for the Arts would
not exist. We are able to provide an
excellent venue for many artists to exhibit
their work. We also maintain active art
studios, two galleries, and a gift shop.
We offer classes ranging from children’s arts
and crafts workshops to sculpture, drawing
and painting classes for adults.​Choose a
membership level that is right for you.
VOLUNTEER
Wayne Arts runs completely on the energy
of our volunteers. Wayne Arts needs you!
Just look at the hours needed and the cost
if we had to pay someone. Quite simply, the
organization would cease to exist.

THE MUSEUM OF
WAYNE COUNTY HISTORY
The museum is housed in the former Wayne County Jail and
Sheriff’s residence built in 1856 and used until 1960. The 24 cells
are still intact with the original inmate artwork on the walls.
Learn the stories of some of the inmates that served time at the
jail and tour the three floors of exhibition space: Lyons Pottery &
Clyde Glass; the Military Room which spans the War of 1812 to
Vietnam War; a child’s 1856 bedroom and much more.
The building was also the only place in Wayne County where
a man was hanged. In 1860 William Fee was convicted of the
murder of an unknown woman traveling through Clyde. He
was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. Many of our
paranormal investigators say that he still might be walking the
cellblock. Because of this, we have been included on the Haunted
History Trail of New York State.
Guided tours are available daily, for large groups, please call in
advance. A two-story carriage house is also available to tour,
weather permitting. Admission $5 for adults, $3 for students and
Wayne County Historical Society members are free. 21 Butternut

WAYNE COUNTY CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
HONEY BEE SWARMS
Honey bees commonly swarm in May and June, but may be
seen anytime from April to September. Honey bees usually land
on a tree branch or in a bush. A swarm is easily recognized by
its massed, buzzing cluster resembling a misshapen football or
basketball, with upwards of 20,000 bees in a swarm.
Are they really honey bees—or some other insects? There are
over 10,000 species of bees! Honey bees are usually golden to
dark brown in color, with thin black stripes. They’re seldom
aggressive, except in the case of Africanized bees, which aren’t
bred here.
The honey bee’s upper body is always fuzzy, helping to distinguish
them from other bees. Their cousins, the bumble bees, are very
fat, fuzzy, and are generally yellow/orange and black. Both are
nectar and pollen gatherers.
Wasps and Hornets are easily differentiated: they have a pinched-
in “waist,” aren’t fuzzy and commonly nest in the ground or in
mud or paper nests on wood surfaces. These insects don’t swarm
in huge masses, nor do they create beeswax and honeycomb
for nesting and nectar storage. They may be solid black or have
white head markings or other color differences. Yellow Jackets
have lemon-yellow markings on black, non-fuzzy bodies and
4-H VOLUNTEERS make a difference!
4-H empowers nearly 170,000 young people across New
York with the skills to lead for a lifetime! Volunteering is fun,
rewarding and enables you to share your experiences with
others. Do you like photography, sewing, cooking, gardening or
working with animals? There are many interesting projects and
fun things to do in 4-H. If you are interested call Jessica Spence,
4-H Community Coordinator at 315-331-8415 x114.

some are larger than honey bees. Wasps and hornets are nasty
critters and are pretty defensive, so don’t swat at them. All are
drawn to fruit, as well as sauced meats cooking on a grill.
Honey bees swarm because conditions in their hive aren’t optimal
for their ongoing survival. Overcrowding and other problems
cause them to leave the hive. Feral honey bees are virtually non-
existent, so any swarm you see comes from a beekeeper’s apiary.
Their queen leads the swarming flight, and they’re totally intent
on following her to establish their colony in a new location. These
bees generally travel only a few miles from their origin. Swarming
honey bees aren’t usually aggressive; they just seek a new home,
preferably in a dark, quiet place. They must have an enclosed
space, and won’t build honeycomb in trees or bushes. Left alone,
honey bee swarms will usually leave within a day or two.
It’s vital that we protect honey bees now, as diseases and other
problems are causing massive die-outs. So, if you see a swarm of
real honey bees, there are three don’ts: don’t panic, don’t turn the
hose on them and don’t call an exterminator.
If honey bees move into an attic or crawl space and you’re concerned,
please call your local extension service office or contact Ontario-
Finger Lakes Beekeepers Association, 585-394-7279.
