Making Junior Beekeepers
Monday, July 1, 2019
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Cost: $6
CHILDREN 12-17
If you've ever wanted to become a beekeeper, this get together is for you. We'll visit the WPNR apiary and learn all about the magnificent honeybee! If we're lucky, we'll taste a little honey straight from the hive. Learn how to make a smoker stay lit, how bees live in a colony, and how to identify all of the types of bees in the hive. Since weather is a limiting factor, we will have an alternate bee-themed makers class if there is rain. No equipment needed - we have all sizes of bee suits, veils, and gloves.
