Denver Chapter of the WAPF – Nourishing Connections FIELD TRIP
Wednesday, August 20th, 2025 5pm-6pm
Sumac Hill Farm 6100 S. Gilpin St. Centennial, CO 80121
INTRODUCTION TO BEEKEEPING
As local beekeepers, we care for honey bees by helping them stay healthy, disease free, and treated from varroa mites. They then expertly do their job of pollinating our local community’s flower and vegetable gardens, fruit trees and other deciduous trees that enjoy pollination.
Come join our Denver WAPF community at Sumac Hill Farm, for a one hour intro to beekeeping and tour of our honey bee apiary. Our tour is a fascinating experience to observe first-hand how these wonderful creatures, with a very precisely structured society, perform this amazing work of pollinating so much of the food we enjoy.
To help grow the number of local honey bee hives, we offer a Mentoring Program in which we lead interested folks from “beginning to end” to learn the “hobby and art” of caring for these wonderful pollinators.
Free to all-donations appreciated
Children Welcome
