"Bee At A Picnic" Family Night
"Bee At A Picnic" was a huge success! The Cottage of Carmel Bixby Patio was decorated with red white checkered tablecloths and flower streamers. Our main dining room was also decorated for a delicious dinner. The main entrée was Honey Walnut Shrimp to go with our bee theme.
We had beekeeper Tim Knauf to speak on bee's. Tim has two apiaries. One in Carmel Valley & the other in Marina. Tim also brought an observation hive with a queen bee inside. Family & residents were fascinated by how big the queen bee is compared to the other bee's. Tim explained that all the bee's have a certain jobs.
Everyone had lots of great questions for Tim. After the lecture everyone went into the dining room for special entrée of Honey Walnut Shrimp. Everyone was given a jar of honey to take home. A great evening was held by all!
