Special Access for Ages 18+: Honey Bee Hive Inspection

Instructor: Ping Honzay, Beekeeper at the Tashjian Bee and Pollinator Discovery Center

Get special access for an up-close look at the inner workings of a honey bee hive by joining in on an inspection of one of the hives at the Arboretum’s Tashjian Bee and Pollinator Discovery Center. You’ll put on a beekeeping suit, join beekeeper Ping as she opens a hive, and even have a chance to hold a frame of live honey bees. Along the way you’ll learn more about the life of a hive and how we work with these fascinating creatures.
