Bees 101 for Writers

Writers, get your notebooks ready! Honeybees are fascinating creatures with complex societies. They play a larger-than-life role in our own history and society, and can easily weave themselves into any storyline. This workshop is designed for curious storytellers - professionals, and hobbyists alike. It’s a chance for you to dive deep into the vastness of bees, beekeeping, climate mitigation, food justice, libratory world building and more.

Come with questions, and leave with beekeeping anecdotes, the ability to represent bees in factual ways, and plenty of inspiration. We'll start with a short writing exercise and then dive right into learning about bees. We'll put on protective gear and open up a hive so participants can get up close and personal with the bees. We'll end with free time to wander the garden and write for a few minutes on our own.

In order to make this workshop accessible to everyone, we offer the following price tiers.  Please read below, choose the tier that works best for you, and enter that amount as your ticket price.

*PRICING IS PER PERSON*

HIVE ($60):

This is our solidarity price. It covers the full price of your experience with the bees and fully subsidizes another community member's participation, as well. You should consider this price if you can meet all your needs comfortably and can afford extra. This helps support our ongoing work and community as a whole.

BEE BREAD ($30):

This tier is full price. It pays us fairly, covers costs, and allows for us to share some funds with Urban Green Works. You should consider this price if most of your basic needs are met, comfortably.

BEESWAX ($15):

This is a reduced price. It covers your experience with the bees without having to over-stretch your budget. You should consider this tier if you are able to meet your basic needs but do so under some stress.

HONEY ($5):

This tier is a reduced price. It covers your experience with the bees and should be considered if you are under constant stress about meeting your needs, and often are not able to partake in leisurely, self-care activities. We got you!
