CBA BEE YARD

875 Boulder Rd, Cheshire, CT

Join us at CBA’s Boulder Knoll Bee Yard for a beekeeping experience! Established as a new bee yard in the spring of 2022, this area provides an ideal space for teaching the art of beekeeping. The yard is easily accessible, with ample parking. Situated on the top of a rise in the landscape, the new yard offers both bees and participants plenty of open space and full sun. The area's floral sources are abundant and bloom from early spring until late fall.

IN CASE OF RAIN

If it rains on the day of this event, we will reschedule and notify you accordingly.
