We’re excited to announce another hands-on beekeeping workshop this month, open exclusively to members and their guests!

Date:

• Saturday, May 10

Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

What to Expect:

• Hive inspections – Learn how to go through a hive, spot the queen, and identify eggs, brood, pollen, and honey stores.
• Swarm management – Participate in a hands-on demo of how to safely move a swarm into a permanent box.

Bonus: Plant Sale + NUC Giveaway

Melissa will also be holding a pollinator plant sale during the workshops.  Melissa has graciously decided that she will donate one of her 5 Frame NUC of bees during each workshop. 
Spend $50 or more and be entered to win a 5-frame NUC with bees**

⚠️ Important:

Please remember to bring your own protective gear (suit/jacket, gloves, veil) to participate in the hands-on activities.

During these sessions, participants will have the opportunity to suit up and go into the hives under the guidance of our expert beekeepers. Learn best practices, get your questions answered, and gain practical insight into what to expect throughout the season.

Advance registration is required for each workshop, and space is limited, so don’t delay!  We need a minimum of 5 people to hold the event.  Capacity is capped at 20.
