Bee Day Is Almost Here!!!
What is Bee Day?
Bee Day is an opportunity for people interested in beekeeping to explore it hands-on and learn from experienced beekeepers. Attendees get to look inside real, live colonies and see how bees are handled, ask questions and form relationships that will help along the beekeeping journey. We have a limited number of bee suits are available to use as well.
Who is Bee Day for?
Anyone interested in bee or beekeeping is invited, even if they aren't currently keeping bees.
