Meet The Bees Workshop June 17th

Join us in opening up and inspecting a real hive full of buzzing bees. Form basic beekeeping tools to the inner workings of the hive, your beekeeper will take your group through a memorable experience that is sure to create a lasting sense of wonder.

 

Your beekeeper will show and walk you through the hive’s different products (wax, pollen. Honey, and propolis) and introduce you to the different members of the hive: the female worker bees, male drones, and if you get extra lucky her majesty the queen bee. For those able to join in person, you may even have the chance to experience the sweet smell of beeswax warm from the hive, hear the gentle buzz of the bees and get a seek-peek taste of honey, straight from the hive.

Each donation can save up to three lives!  

This is a volunteer opportunity like no other. Versiti is the only provider of blood to the community hospitals where you live and work. Medical technology has provided many life-saving discoveries over the years, but there is still no substitute for blood. In a medical emergency, often the most important element is the availability of blood.

Your blood donation can help:

• Trauma victims

• Surgery patients

• Premature babies

• People with anemia
