Solitary Bee Harvesting

Come join us for our third annual hands-on bee harvesting class! This is a fun and educational event that is appropriate for people of all ages. We will be sorting through nesting material, harvesting cocoons that should be harvested in fall, controlling for any pests & diseases, and preparing bees to be stored over winter. Weather-appropriate clothes that you’re okay getting a little dirty are recommended. Feel free to bring solitary bee nesting material from your yard. If you’re considering installing a solitary bee house in your yard, please join us to learn more about how to get your new hobby started on the right foot.
