Bees' Knees Week
September 20th - September 29th
Making a difference is as simple as ordering a drink. Bee habitat is lost every time land is cleared for development, but you can help! Order an Elder-Bee cocktail during Bee Week, and share your photo on social media with the tags below.

For every photo shared, Barr Hill will plant 10 square feet of bee habitat! Crafted specially for this week, our Elder-Bee cocktail is made with Caledonia Spirits Barr Hill Gin, Thatcher's Elderflower Liqueur, ROOT Lemongrass & Elderflower, Elderflower Bitters, and Blackmore Farm mint.
Honey Bee Talk
Spend some time with our resident beekeeper, in discussion of the life cycle of the honey bee and their environmental importance. We’ll compare holistic and conventional beekeeping while displaying the components and tools necessary to start your very own apiary!

Live Hive Inspection
General maintenance requires periodic inspections during the warm months to make sure your queen is laying eggs, your workers are building up honey stores, and your colony has enough space to expand. Join Sam, our certified bee keeper, to get a rare chance at a closer look into an active honey bee hive. Participants will be provided with all the protective gear necessary to get up close and personal see the inner workings of Mother Nature’s most complex societies. Participation in this activity will require a signed waiver, waiver will be completed prior to the start of the activity.
