All things bees will be showcased at the coming Honeybee Festival in Cloverdale, B.C.
Hosted by Cloverdale’s Honeybee Centre, the bee fest is set for July 27 and 28.
Cassie Gibeau, media contact for Honeybee Centre, encouraged families to “bring the whole hive” down to the unique festival.
“Bees – and people – will be buzzing July 27 and 28 in Cloverdale,” Gibeau wrote in announcing the popular event.
The free, two-day celebration has something for everyone, including a bouncy castle, bee beards, beekeeping demonstrations, live music, some food trucks, a farmers market, a tonne of local vendors, and the star of the show: lots of honey.
“The crowd favourite has always been the beekeeping demonstrations,” Gibeau adds, “and, of course, the famous bee beards, where people have a thousand bees put on their faces.”
Kids can also check out @HoneybeeCentreKids on Instagram for lots of information about bees, interesting bee pics, and kid-centred events at Honeybee Centre.
The Honeybee Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 27 and 28. The Honeybee Centre is located at 7480 176th St., at the corner of 176th and the Fraser Highway.
