Bemis Honey Bee Farm started with five hives, dedicated to pollinating and improving their existing tree farm. Quickly, Bemis Honey Bee Farm grew into a sprawling collection of hives and a source of information for locals interested in learning more about beekeeping. And, thus, the Arkansas Honey Festival was created. 

Located just outside of Little Rock, Bemis Honey Bee Farm is open to the public and entry into the Honey Festival is completely free! Gear up for a day filled with delicious honey, informative workshops, fun for the kids and live music! The 2019 Arkansas Honey Festival is happening this Saturday, October 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Stop by the Bemis Honey Farm Classroom and partake in an educational session to start off your Honey Festival experience! You’ll explore pollen and its many uses, the history of honey and all the differences between honey and syrup with experienced beekeepers. Fancy yourself a seasoned beekeeper? Don your protective gear and venture into the bee yard! You’ll run through the apiary and do a thorough check for pests, prep the hives for winter and even learn how to nourish your bees during the colder months. 

Obsessed with honey? Honey tastings begin at 11 a.m. and you don’t want to miss out on the action. Every attendee’s vote will contribute to the honey, creamed honey and mead tastings to determine who holds the coveted title of ‘Best Honey in Arkansas!’

Food trucks and kid-friendly activities will be on-site, perfect for the chance to unwind and enjoy food and live music. The Bemis Honey Bee Farm’s gift shop and bee supply will also be open during the festival for goodies and tools to start your own apiary! Don’t all swarm at once! This is one event you just don’t want to miss out on. And, hey, it’d be pretty fun to pull up in a delicious 2020 Grand Cherokee from Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Little Rock!

Bees are integral to our daily lives and vital to our farmers here in Arkansas, let’s get together and celebrate!
