Be a bee and have a buzzing good time at Wave Hill when all things yellow, black, and fuzzy are celebrated.
The humming never stops during Honey Weekend, with lots for families to do. Put on gear and get up close and personal with the garden’s beekeeper and his furry hives, view bee extraction demonstrations, taste the freshest honey ever, or make yourself a pair of bee wings, don antennae, and grab a pollen cup to wander through a hive of activity and forage through the fall flowers for a sip of nectar.
Most events are free with admission to the grounds — $8 for adults, $4 for students and seniors, $2 for children ages 6 to 12, and it’s always free on Saturday mornings until noon.
Honey Weekend at Wave Hill [West 249th St. and Independence Avenue, (718) 549–3200, www.wavehill.org]. Sept. 8 and 9, 10 am to 4 pm.
