DESCRIPTION:On-Farm Workshop\nThe Beekeeper Experience \n Date:\nSun\, June 30\, 2024\n Time:\n10:00 am – 11:30 am \n Location:\nFunny Farm Apiaries\n17 Oak Road\nMertztown\, PA 19539 \n Cost:\nSliding scale | $0 – $15 \nOn-Farm Workshop\nThe Beekeeper Experience \nCome suit up as a beekeeper for a day at Funny Farm Apiaries in Berks County\, PA and see how the benefits of having a hive are un-bee-lievable.\nThis workshop is intended for folks who are new to beekeeping or curious about working with bees. We’ll be taking a peek into live hives\, explaining what to look for when inspecting the health of honey bees.  \nFunny Farm Apiaries is a family-owned and operated business in Mertztown\, PA. Beekeeping started as a hobby on the farm and has grown into a 90-hive operation. With a partnership with Hives For Heroes\, Funny Farm Apiaries uses their platform to help mentor Veterans & First Responders. Researchers say the act of beekeeping may help people with mental health issues such as stress. In addition to “beekeeping therapy\,” Funny Farms builds connections with the community through mentoring\, beekeeper experiences\, talks\, farm tours\, and honey sales. \nCan’t make it on this date? The same workshop is also being offered on May 19.

We will not be held liable for bee stings\, allergic reactions\, or unsafe behavior by participants of your tour\, as well as our right to refuse a participant a tour if we deem they are acting in an unsafe manner at the apiary and near the bee hives. \nThis is a hands-on workshop.
