Event Overview

Visit with an urban beekeeper and taste honey from all over the US and a few from far away!

We'll talk about how bees make honey and store it, and why it's nature's most perfect food. You'll try around 20 honeys and get to see what it looks like inside of the honey comb itself. We will also try propolis and talk about the other products honeybees grace us with. This class is ideal for anyone with a curiosity for the natural world, as well as those involved in the culinary arts.

You'll walk away with a new respect for bees and the flowers that make each honey unique.

Minimum age

All ages welcome

Prerequisites

We sampled at least 17 different honeys, from around the country, and some from outside of the country. Jana told us how the honey was different in terms of the likely sources of the nectar. She also taught us all kinds of interesting facts about honey bees. The whole thing was very inspirational.
