Meet the Bees: Beehive Build Day
Come Build a Beehive!
Join Diaspora Honey for a hands-on Beehive Build Day! This beginner-friendly event is safe and open to everyone. No bees will be present, so come as you are and get your hands dirty!
Participants will learn about beekeeping tools and hive plans while helping construct a beehive that will become active next season. No experience is necessary. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to help build something that will support our pollinators and community for seasons to come.
This event is free and open to all ages. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Registration is required.
