| SAVING
THE
PLANET . . . ONE HONEY BEE AT A TIME Celebrate National Honey
Month and Lithopolis Honeyfest Day in Ohio in a
robust
atmosphere of art, music, food, fun and people! The Lithopolis
Honeyfest is a non-profit event with a
mission to educate visitors about the art and science of apiculture and
to raise awareness of the importance of the honey bee.
With
the involvement of honey
and
beekeeping trade associations, we see this event as a component in
preserving
apiculture, not just in Ohio, but nationwide and globally. Enjoy a fascinating
day of
unique attractions -
honey bee beards and wigs; honey of all flavors,
colors and
textures; honey extracting and bee hive inspecting.
Meet
beekeepers,
explore equipment and discover products direct from the
hive.
See a real queen bee and her colony up close under
the glass
of an
observation hive. Listen to
great live music, browse
quality arts
& crafts, and spend family fun time at the
The
Gilmore
Group's Busy Beehive Booth. Buzz over to the "Honey
Bees
Make Good Food" court for scrumptious honey-made food and be sure to
sample mead at the wine tasting tent. Grab a honey
brew at
the
Bloom-Carroll Kiwanis beer garden and treat yourself to an entry in the
Honey
Bake-Off sale. Before flying off, take home a memory with a
sweet souvenir shirt, fit for a queen Taste
of Honey
cookbook and
stingingly elegant collector mead/wine glass. FREE ADMISSION, PARKING & SHUTTLE |
