Bee event at GloryBee Foods
Apr 10th, 2009 by Amy
A quick post to let you all know about an annual bee event happening at GloryBee Foods this weekend. They are offering beekeeping demonstrations and honey tasting, while local beekeepers pick-up their bees. We might go check it out because we are thinking about keeping honey bees next year.
The event seems to be under the radar a little, as there is not even a mention on their website. There was just a small note about it in the City/Region section of the Register Guard today.
GloryBee is at 120 N. Seneca Road in Eugene, OR. Hours are 9-6:30 today and 8:30-2 tomorrow.
How was it? I read somewhere that there was a huge turnout and a surging interest in beekeeping.
It was a good event. Unfortunately, we got there a little late to see a demo. I think the bee-picker-uppers were more in the know, but if you assumed you could drop in and see a demo during the hours it was open, not the case if you were there past 10 am on Saturday. I did pick up some cider vinegar, tamarind paste, and molasses at very good prices.
