The buzz is building at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary as it prepares to host a sweet celebration of National Honey Bee Day on Saturday, August 16. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., visitors can immerse themselves in a morning dedicated to the vital role pollinators play in the ecosystem while enjoying a range of fun and flavorful activities.
Guests can explore educational displays highlighting the life and work of honey bees and watch live demonstrations — safely enclosed — that showcase how these essential pollinators create the golden treat we all enjoy. For those with a sweet tooth, honey tasting tables will offer samples of fresh, hive-to-table honey harvested right at the zoo. Jars of the local honey will be available for purchase, with last year’s supply selling out quickly.
Along with the educational and culinary experiences, families can enjoy bee-themed activities perfect for all ages, making it an engaging outing that’s both entertaining and informative.
Regular zoo admission rates apply for Honey Bee Day. For more information, visit www.folsom.ca.us/zoo or call 916-461-6629.
