It's that time of year again for the Honey Harvest! Join us at LLCC's West Lake Nature Grove for a demonstration of the process of honey extraction from beehives. The process will begin with honey super removal from the apiary at West Lake Nature Grove. Participants are encouraged to wear protective gear. At a minimum, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt are required. A limited number of bee suits and veils will be available for participants to borrow on a first come, first served basis. Those without protective gear can observe from a safe distance away from the hives.
Honey supers will be removed and taken to A. Lincoln Commons for a demonstration, beginning at approximately 12 p.m., on how to extract the honey from the frames. Participants can help with the extraction process and sample the raw honey.
This event is free and open to the public.
