Volunteer Saturdays at the Honeybee Sanctuary
Come to the Honeybee Sanctuary, experience the bees, the beautiful landscape and serenity in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are happy to offer these days for anyone interested in getting to know the sanctuary and/or spending some hours with us working on the flower beds and on landscaping tasks. We are grateful for any helping hands.
Schedule:
9:00 AM-3:00 PM Work-time, with a break at 12:00
Please bring your own lunch. We will provide snacks and drinks.
3:00 PM-5:00 PM Tour of the Spikenard Sanctuary and conversation time. This is your opportunity to ask any questions you have and to share your own experiences with others.
If you come from further away, you might want to arrive on Friday and go the famous Floyd Country Store Jamboree in the evening, featuring different Blue Grass bands each week. In the warmer season, there will be locals jamming it up in the street, in the Barber Shop next door and across the street. At the store you can find delicacies like cans of "Road-Kill Opossum" (contents is ham) as a gift for squeamish friends; also books, clothing, and this and that.
You might make a long weekend of it, drive to the nearby Buffalo Mountain, where you enjoy a 360 degree panorama of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains; or you just take a leisurely ride on the Blue Ridge Highway, an experience worthwhile!
Dates: April14, May 12, June 16, July 21, August 11, September 15
