National Honey Bee Day with Ashe County Beekeepers

The Ashe County Beekeepers Association, in cooperation with Molley Chomper Cidery, is excited to offer a fun filled family friendly afternoon learning about the beloved honeybee!

Educational opportunities include an observation hive with live bees!

You can try on a real beekeeping suit, learn why we use a smoker when we are beekeeping, and ask real beekeepers all those questions you always wanted to know!

Honey and honey products will be for sale at the event and will allow you to take some of the deliciousness home with you! There will be honey tasting—so you can try different varieties of honey!

Have you ever wondered why honey can look so different with different colors and flavors?

Come learn about extracting honey and how honey is produced!

Bees from the Ashe County Beekeepers were placed in the apple orchards used to make Molley Chomper Cider, and you can learn more about pollination services and how honeybees are so important for our agriculture industry—not just apples!

Come out for a fantastic day and celebrate WORLD HONEYBEE DAY!!!

Cider Tasting - Emmaus Orchard Cider

Join us at the cidery to taste our first Emmaus Orchard cider vintage. This cider is made with 2022 fruit from Emmaus Orchard in Ashe County, NC. Jim and Chris DeJuneas (and family) planted the cider orchard several years ago, and we’re lucky enough to receive some of their fruit to make this cider. Jim and Chris will share their experience growing apples in the NC mountains, and we’ll talk about the unique aspects of their terroir in cider. We’ll also sample the 2023 vintage to see how things are coming along.
