Wright-Locke Farm

Join Fred and Sally, our beekeepers, in a biweekly inspection of the Farm hives. Bring your bee suit if you have one; otherwise we have some that you can use. This is a hands-on activity as we open the hives and check their health and activity; you are also welcome to stay back to watch and learn about beekeeping.

We will be meeting at the Bee Shed, next to the Flower Shed and Winter Chicken Coop. Feel free to park at the All Seasons Barn or next to the farm sign on Ridge Street.

Happy Beekeeping!!
