Create a welcoming home for native pollinators and boost your garden's health!
Bees are the heroes of our gardens, helping pollinate our plants for free. In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover how easy it is to support local pollinators by building a bee hotel. You'll learn why these small creatures are so important, and you'll get to create a bee hotel to take home and install in your own backyard! In this workshop, you'll learn:
- What a bee hotel is and why it's important
- How to attract and support native pollinators
- How to safely build your very own bee hotel to take home!
Fee: $10 (includes all materials)
No experience needed, just bring your creativity and love for nature!
All materials will be provided, and you'll leave with a beautiful bee hotel ready to install in your garden.
Let's build a better world for bees, one garden at a time!
Upcoming Events
Memoir Reading: Barn Gothic
December 4, 2025
Bath, NY
Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.
NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together
December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY
We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.
At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
