World of Honey Bees:
Sweet Secrets of the Hive
What’s really happening inside a beehive—and what would our grocery stores look like without pollinators?
In this fun, all-ages class, we’ll explore the magic of honey bees, meet the queen, workers, and drones, and follow nectar’s journey from flower to honey jar. We’ll compare hobby and commercial beekeeping, uncover why managed hives matter, and answer questions you didn’t even know you had!
Plus, we’ll taste several farmstead honey varieties and discover how different flowers create different flavors.
Come curious. Leave buzzing.
