Sherlock Holmes steps into “A Scandal in Bohemia” at the Desert Beekeepers meeting Friday, Dec. 7.

The group meets at 3 p.m. at the Community Center.

“A Scandal in Bohemia” is the first of 56 short stories about Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story appeared in the July 1891 issue of The Strand magazine.

The Beekeepers’ proceedings begin with a video presentation of “A Scandal in Bohemia,” starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. The Desert Beekeepers will then discuss their thoughts and feelings about this particular Holmes tale. Attendees are encouraged to read the story before the meeting.

The session’s grand finale is another mind-bending round of Sherlockian Trivia. Desert Beekeeper Kathy Brackney created and developed this quiz in which two teams match wits with each other about the many exploits of the fabled Sherlock Holmes.

When the meeting adjourns, the group will gather for dinner at a nearby restaurant for further discussions of Sherlockian and other matters.

Membership in the Activity Center is required to attend meetings of the Desert Beekeepers. For more information, contact Doris Dale at 480-816-6003, or the Activity Center at 480-816-5226.
