Honeybee Festival Schedule

Education is promoted through the arts, crafts, lectures, food preparation, demonstrations and distribution of published materials. Our festival highlights the many beneficial products that derive from honeybees. Honeybees help all of us from personal consumption of honey to the pollination of commercial orchards and other crops.

Festival Opens to the Public: Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 10 a.m. 

Live Music, Costume Contest, Spelling Bee, Educational Presentations and more. 

Schedule coming soon.
