Honey Extraction: From Comb to Jar
August 19 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$25
In this hands-on workshop, you will take a deep dive into the wonderfully sticky and delicious world of raw honey. Perfect for beekeepers and the bee-curious alike, this class will cover everything you need to know about how to safely and effectively extract honey harvested from a beehive, from the comb all the way to the jar. Carmen of Feral Farms Beekeeping will lead you in the practice of uncapping honey frames and spinning the honey out using the Tool Library’s centrifugal extractor, then bottling it into glass jars for you to take home and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Each participant will leave equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to harvest and extract honey on their own, as well as their very own jar of raw, local honey.
What we Provide: All materials for honey extraction & bottling.
What to Wear / Safety Notes: Wear clothes/shoes that you are not worried about getting a little sticky.
Skill Level: Beginner & Intermediate levels are welcome — no experience necessary.
