Mobile Beehive with Shenandoah Valley Beekeepers

(additional fee/no min age/from 12-24 participants): The Shenandoah Valley is a well-established agricultural area. And a lot of that success rests on the backs of bees and beekeepers alike. In this presentation, our friend Mrs. Sue brings her beehive with her so that we can get to know a bit about how the bees work, what the queen does, and just what a hive looks like on the inside. But don’t fret if you are worried about the bees getting too close; Mrs. Sues hive is contained inside a see-through plexiglass container that keeps the bees safe inside working away. This activity costs an additional fee of $75 for two, 1.5-hour sessions to directly support the Shenandoah Valley Bee Keepers.
