Protect our pollinating pals — here’s why you really need to give a buzz about bees
Canberra’s Capital Region Farmers Market is gathering its worker bees for what will be a buzzing hive of activity to celebrate World Bee Day. Taking place just after the official World Bee Day on 20th May, the Market will celebrate on Saturday 21st May 2022.
World Bee Day at the Capital Region Farmers Market will offer Market stallholders’ bee-friendly displays and exhibitions, honey and bee themed food created by Market producers, a display of hives, native plants, flowers and their growers, local and regional honey producers and information to help educate how people can help contribute to saving our bees.
This year, the Market will be hosting our biggest World Bee Day celebration to date.
We will be hosting a hive of events on the day, including:
- Bee-themed face painting.
- Colouring in tent – come and colour in our friendly bee and place him at home in his hive on the Farmers Market Hive Wall.
- Make a badge – colour in your bee and we’ll turn him into your very own badge to take home and wear with pride.
- Honey Trail scavenger hunt – find the 10 bees located around the Market from stallholders who feature honey-themed food and receive a $10 voucher to buy your own special treat.
- Find out how you can be involved with bees with ACT for Bees
- Local honey stallholders and specialty produce created exclusively for the day
- Rotary Club of Hall will be serving a sample of a traditional Slovenian honey breakfast, with bread, honey, and apples from the Market.
We are inviting everyone to come to the Market dressed up in your best bee-themed costume and take a photo in front of the Farmers Market Hive Wall.
