Honey Bee Festival helps save the bees

All things related to honey and bee conservation were on display to taste and learn about for the Honey Bee Festival at Sweetgrass Farms on Saturday, March 12.

For the first time the festival was hosted by Sarasota Honey Company and the Suncoast Beekeepers Association as a fundraiser for the Florida Honey Bee Research Lab to Save the Bees.

Workshops with local beekeepers, vendors and informational sessions were abuzz with visitors interested in learning about bee conservation. Visitors also enjoyed picking strawberries from Sweetgrass, dressing the part of queen bees and getting a close look at an active beehive.
