Bees & Blooms

Dive into the fascinating world of bees with our beekeeper Julie from The Bees Knees Apiary.

After the honeybee session, guests will be able to create their own mason-jar arrangement of fresh flowers from our Flower Bar.

Explore the Flower Bar stocked with a wide variety of fresh blooms straight from our flower fields and create a take-home memento of your time on the flower farm
Lots of photo ops!

ABOUT THE BEEKEEPERS
Julie and Kayla Ginter will be speaking to us about beekeeping and the importance of pollinators. Together, the Ginter family started The Bees Knees Apiary with 2 hives in 2015. It has now grown to 30 hives in Ajax/Whitby and the Kawartha Highlands. They take pride in their small batch, high quality, raw natural honey.
