Weekly 101 (9/16/11)

Well, so I won't be hosting an inspection at Added Value this Saturday. But babies, don't you panic; you can get your beekeeping fix this Saturday at the FIRST ANNUAL NYC HONEY FESTIVAL!

I sure do like bees.  And festivals.
I REALLY like festivals.
Carnies everywhere.
That isn't true.

YES!

Come down to the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk at 96th St to check out more beekeeping activities and events than you can shake a package at.

Over the course of the day, we will be hosting:
LIVE EXTRACTION DEMOS!
BEEKEEPING 101 Q&A!
COOKING DEMOS HOSTED BY GROWING CHEFS!
HONEY TASTINGS!
SPECIAL BREWS FROM SIX POINT!
LIVE BEES!
AND MORE!

I AM PRETTY EXCITED!

Even better, if you are a local beekeeper, enter your honey into our Honey Tasting! The link to sign up is HERE! The honey deemed the best by our judges will receive prizes.

Good prizes.

PLUS, a sweet new Ultimate Hive Stand from Bee Smart Designs.
Jealous.  Ugh.

Honestly, I'm just sad that I can't enter.

So come out and say "Hi!" Meet some bees! Meet some beekeepers! See what all the buzz is about!
