This event is part of Project Bee.
Get your creative juices flowing!
The bee boxes have been built now there’s nothing left to do before the bees arrive but decorate their new homes.
Alex will walk us through the ins and outs of box assembly and answer the burning question, “what is a frame?” Once we have a better understanding for the structure, each guest will be given a side of a box along with paint and brushes, and we will create masterpieces that would make even van Gogh jealous!
