World Honey Bee Day at 2ND & PCH

Celebrate World Honey Bee Day at 2ND & PCH during the 714 Market on Saturday, August 16!

Activities include:

• Pollinator Scavenger Hunt: From 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., children can explore the center to uncover bee-inspired fun facts hidden among storefronts. Stop by the information booth near Beachwood Brewery to join the scavenger hunt. Participants who complete the hunt will receive a special gift (while supplies last) and be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of six exclusive gift card prizes.
• Exclusive Honey Giveaway: A limited supply of honey produced from the center’s on-site hives will be gifted to participants who complete the scavenger hunt (while supplies last).
• Beekeeper Meet & Greet: From 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., meet a professional beekeeper from Best Bees and learn all about the bees, their role in our ecosystem and get your questions answered by an expert. Note - No bees will be tagging along—just the buzz without the buzzers!

2ND & PCH is proud of its continued partnership with Best Bees Company, a national leader in beekeeping and pollinator research. Through this partnership, Best Bees maintains two beehives at 2nd & PCH, supporting educational efforts to raise awareness about pollinators and contributing to ongoing research on biodiversity and ecosystem health. The center has carefully placed hives in discrete locations, away from foot traffic, to protect both bees and guests.

The hives at 2ND & PCH produce between 10 and 20 pounds of honey annually. As the honey reflects the flora from which the bees collect pollen, the harvest from the property has a distinct flavor profile, reinforcing the unique sense of place that the lifestyle center offers. The partnership with Best Bees reflects 2ND & PCH’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship through initiatives that also include solar energy use, recycling programs, and year-round cultural programming that connects the community.
