BACKYARD BEES

  • Craigardan 9216 New York 9N Elizabethtown, NY, 12932 United States (map)

11 am - 1 pm

Join local beekeepers Michele Drozd, Sam Bowser, and Laura Von Rosk as we open up Craigardan’s hives for an inspection. See what the inner workings of a bee hive look like and try to spot the queen! You’ll learn about bee behavior, how bees make honey, and what role they play on the farm and in the ecosystem. We’ll also taste-test some honey from around the region (and the grocery store!) and talk about basic equipment and what it takes to get started. This introduction to beekeeping with novice beekeepers Michele, Sam, and Laura may just inspire you to maintain a hive or two of your own - if we can do it, so can you!

Location: Meet in the parking lot of the farm store.

Pre-registration is appreciated, but not necessary. If you are allergic to bees you are required to bring your own epipen.
