Alison Derderian, a passionate beekeeper, recently visited Methuen Village and created quite the buzz with her wonderful presentation about bees, honey, and the art of beekeeping. She shared how her love for bees began alongside her father, who was also a beekeeper, and it was truly heartwarming to hear the special memories and passion behind her journey.
Residents were fascinated as they explored a real hive setup and viewed honeycomb up close, making the experience both educational and unforgettable. The sweet highlight of the day was tasting a variety of delicious honeys and we even had a sampling of mead! ๐ฏโจ
To top it all off, Ali surprised everyone with thoughtful goody bags filled with honey candies, which brought so many smiles to our residentsโ faces. It was a day full of learning, laughter, and sweet moments that everyone will treasure.
A huge thank-you to Ali for sharing her time, knowledge, and love for bees with us. Weโre so grateful she could bee part of our community for the day! ๐๐๐ฏ
Thank you so much, Ali, for sharing your knowledge, stories, passion, and love of bees with us! ๐โจ
