Wright-Locke Farm

Throughout the year Beekeepers Fred and Sally will need help. This can range from observing from the sidelines to getting involved firsthand and putting on a bee suit to assist during Hive Checks, Work Days and Honey Extraction Days.

Meet at the Bee Shed (between Flower Shed & Winter Chicken Coop). Hive Checks may go over an hour depending on the needs that day.
