The Wayne County New York
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
This nonprofit organization is dedicated to educating its members
and the community about proper genealogical research methods
and source documentation; seeks to further the genealogical
historical knowledge of its members and community; and,
endeavors to preserving records of genealogical value and make
them available to others. WCNYGS does not handle genealogical
research requests. Genealogical Research queries/inquiries
are handled through the Office of the Wayne County New York
Historian, 9 Pearl Street, Suite 3 in Lyons or visit www.co.wayne.ny.us/
departments/historian/.

& Museum, 120 High Street in Newark.

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
Street, a short walk from Lock #27 in Lyons. 315-946-4943, www.

WAYNE COUNTY CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION

HONEY BEE SWARMS 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

Are they really honey bees—or some other insects? There are
over 10,000 species of bees! Honey bees are usually golden to ASK A MASTER GARDENER
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
