Honey Bee Hangout

  • Forts Ferry Farm 185 Forts Ferry Road Latham, NY, 12110 United States (map)

Join us at the farm to celebrate our tiniest farmers: Honey Bees! 

Hosted by our good friend and FFF bee guru George Howe, you’ll safely learn about the importance of pollinators, important pollinator plants, and the season's effects on honey production.

This event includes a guided field tour, and a gear breakdown showcasing the gear and equipment used in beekeeping. Afterward, we’ll wrap up in the barn with a super special honeycomb tasting, and delicious FFFarm refreshments.

All of our honey products will be available for purchase!
