Jacobsen Salt Co. Presents: Summer Beekeeping

Jacobsen Hive Program Presents: Summer Beekeeping

Come join us for an exciting hands-on experience at Zidell Yards! Our summer beekeeping field event is perfect for beginners looking to expand their understanding of what it takes to keep close and personal with our buzzing friends. This second event in the series will dive deeper into hive inspections, “reading the comb”, and how to care for your bees in the height of the summer season.

This educational event features a special guest speaker, Shannon Mayhew, Beekeeper and Biodynamic Estate Gardener at Brooks Winery. An optional light sandwich lunch from Olympia Provisions will be served.

This event will be held entirely outdoors in our SW Riverfront Apiary at Zidell Yards. Comfortable clothing that is suitable for outdoor work - like long sleeves and pants - is recommended. Please note that a limited supply of protective beekeeping gear (such as gloves and veils) will be made available, but participants are encouraged to bring their own if they have it.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn something new, and connect with nature and the local beekeeping community! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any specific questions.

Hope to see you there!

Info: This will be time to settle in and get started on our bee biology journey!
