PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL, but we are accepting waitlist registrations!
Have you ever seen the inside of a beehive before? Join PEI Provincial Apiarist Cameron Menzies who will guide workshop participants through the A-Bee-Cs of honey bee husbandry. Participants will get to peek inside a beehive to observe the life stages of bees in the colony and the wax comb and honey within the hive. Cameron will teach participants about the role of honey bees within PEI’s ecology as pollinators & honey makers.
Protective beekeeping suits will be provided to all participants. Due to limited equipment, this workshop is restricted to 8 participants and is open to ages 13+ only. Please wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants, as some suits only provide face protection.
Important Notes: This workshop involves interaction with live bees, and while the risk is low when properly suited, bee stings are possible. If you have a known allergy to bee stings, you should not attend the workshop. In the event of cool or rainy conditions, the outdoor hive inspection will be replaced with an indoor presentation at Island Honey Wine about beekeeping.
WORKSHOP DATES & LOCATION:
Sunday July 6th, 11am-1pm, Island Honey Wine Company, 820 Millboro Rd, Rustico
Pre-registration is required.
