Join Urban Beekeeper Tanner for an hour-long look inside the life of honeybees! Using a special see-through hive, we will be able to safely observe a hive up-close without the risk of them buzzing about the room. We will learn all the basics, including the different roles inside the beehive, how bees (and other pollinators) help humans, and how they produce honey. We will also discuss the role of the beekeeper, and get hands-on experience with the tools we use. Come enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and TASTES of spring, and leave with a newfound appreciation for these adorable little pollinators. Fun for the whole family!
