NARROWSBURG, NY — At 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 24, join this small town and its bee enthusiasts to celebrate the honey bee.

National Honey Bee Day in August boosts awareness of honey bees and their plight. Beekeepers, beekeeping clubs and associations, plus honey bee enthusiasts from across the United States, celebrate honey bees and recognize their contribution to humans’ everyday lives as a means of protecting this critical species.

The Honey Bee Festival keeps the momentum going. The day brings awareness of the importance of the honey bee, and gives folks a chance to have fun in the small town.

Attendees can dress as bees, and at 12 noon, be judged in three categories: the cutest costume, the most creative costume and the bee fashionista.

The sign-up sheet is at Narrowsburg Proper on Main Street.
