(WSB file photo from past Bee Festival)

Another look ahead to one of this weekend’s big events – the West Seattle Bee Festival returns to High Point on Saturday (May 20th)! As previewed here in April, it’s happening in and around High Point Commons Park/Amphitheater and the Bee Garden [map], with components including:

Buzz Run – 9:30 am: A casual run/walk for youth, starting at the Bee Garden.

Community Cleanup – 10:30 am-noon: Part of One Seattle Day of Service; stop by the volunteer tent to pick up a picker and trash bag to help.

Bee Festival – Noon-3 pm: Activities, games, performances, and chances to learn about bees (with participants including the Puget Sound Beekeepers Association). Highlights include Ella Bella Bee at the Amphitheater at noon, beehive demonstration at the Bee Garden at 1 pm, and Soul Line Dancing at 2 pm. More than a dozen community organizations will be there to meet you, too.

This is all family-friendly and free!

    Cool! Speaking of which, does anyone have a referral – I just found what looks to be a wild bee hive in my yard, and am not quite sure what to do.

    Will there be vendors selling honey or honey made products?

      The Puget Sound Beekeepers are expected to be selling honey. Don’t know about other products.

    Bee festival!? I’ve already been having my own bee festival in my backyard with two wasp nests sprayed in the past 5 days. Hopefully that’s the end of it for the season 😬

      Hope you’re just trying to be funny but wasps are not bees, and you definitely don’t want to spray bees – they are a precious resource.

Sorry, comment time is over.
