Join us for Beekeeping Demo at Noon, Sat 13 August

You’ve probably noticed the honey on the FarmStore counter and wondered “Where does it come from?”  Well, it comes from our very own hives at Root Connection. 

Jim Olsen, beekeeper from Sunset Hill Honey, extracts the honey.  On Saturday, he will pull out a frame of honey to show kids (old and young alike) where honey comes from and how it “sits in the hive”.  There will be a nylon netting canopy for members to stand in while he shows us how the honey is extracted. 

Last summer, it was “standing room only” while Jim pulled out the frames of honey to show the kids and grownups.  He’ll also discuss the role of bee pollination at the farms in western Washington.
