Creative Discovery Museum will be beset with bees at next weekend’s Honey Harvest, a festival celebrating the importance of honeybees and how honey is made.
Visitors can participate in honey extraction with beekeepers, taste different varieties of honey in Culinary Corner and make their own honey lip balm, beeswax candles and honey soap to take home.
But there’s something kids can do even before they arrive.
New to this year’s festival is a children’s art contest that will bestow awards on the best bee-related drawing. It’s open to kids just learning their ABCs to kids about to discover the birds and bees.
