About this Event
Honeybees are incredible creatures that have a unique relationship with humans. We rely on them for pollination, honey, and so much more!
Order lunch and join Convivium Farm Manager AJ Shultz for this one-hour Lunch & Learn. AJ will share his fascination with honeybees, detailing how they function within the hive, create queens, clean their space, and much more!
Note: This class is not a beekeeping class, but rather an exploration of honeybees.
For participants planning to order food to eat during the presentation, please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes ahead to place your order at the coffeeshop counter. Your lunch will then be brought to you in the Learning Center to enjoy while you learn!
Registration is appreciated but not required for this free program.
