Dandelion Day
April 25 : 11:00 am - 6:00 pm
Our annual Dandelion Day is just around the corner!! We warmly welcome you to join us on a beautiful Friday with the bees celebrating our first Open Day of the year!
As the dandelions come into full bloom at the Sanctuary, we give a sigh of relief and a prayer of thanks. For the beekeeper, dandelions mark the end of scarcity—the page turning from worry, shortage, and diminishing colonies, towards new growth, health, and the guarantee that our bees have survived yet another winter. Such is the value of this source of nectar and pollen for the bees. To see the fields spotted with those beautiful yellow flowers brings true joy to our hearts!
Join us for a tour, visit our gift shop, enjoy free dandelion-themed snacks and refreshments, and learn more about what we all can do to help support the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
We will have a large array of special pollinator plants for sale!
We are located at 401 Hideaway Ln SE, Floyd, VA 24091.
