A look back at our All About Bees workshop! 🐝🌻

We had a great time learning about the important role bees play in our environment, getting an inside look at home beekeeping, and making our own reusable beeswax wraps.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to Jeffry Turnmire and his wife of Francis Road Farm for sharing their knowledge and giving us a closer look at the world of bees!

We’re excited to keep the learning going with our remaining Sustainability Workshop Sessions. 🌎
