The third annual Athens Area Honey Bee Festival will be held on Saturday, May 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Athens-Clarke County Extension Office located at 275 Cleveland Road.
The event is free and open to the public, offering activities for families and individuals interested in honey bees and local agriculture. Organizers say visitors can expect honey tastings, kids activities, face painting, plants for sale, bee hive explorations, and more.
The festival aims to provide educational opportunities about honey bees while also serving as a community gathering. The City of Athens delivers municipal services including management of parks, facilities and community programs as part of its consolidated city-county government structure, according to the official website.
As a unified government entity extending across Athens and Clarke County in Georgia, the City of Athens manages several public services and historic sites such as the restored Morton Theatre. The theatre is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1910 and highlights local efforts in historic preservation through city-supported facilities, according to the official website.
According to the official website, these efforts reflect ongoing support for community engagement through events like the Honey Bee Festival.
