SUMMARY:SFC: Family Friendly Beehive Tour
DESCRIPTION:From the Sustainable Food Center –\nA beekeeping class– just for kids! In this Sustainable Food Center class\, kids (recommended ages 7-16) will learn about the important role honey bees play in our food system and how they go about making what we all love so much – honey!

We will remove some honey comb and get to taste honey straight from the hive! Very limited space\, so register early.\n\n*Parent or guardian of youth ages 7-16 may attend for free.
