      Join us in Hunt Country's historic barn with entomologist, Caroline Boutard-Hunt & learn to make your garden a haven for bees & other beneficial insects.

      Bees, pollinators, & other favorable insects are all the buzz these days, providing beauty, pollination and pest control to gardens & natural areas. However, many native beneficial insects are in decline & can use a little help from home gardeners.  Learn from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Yates Agriculture & Horticulture Development Specialist, Caroline Boutard-Hunt about different beneficial insects & how to make your garden a welcoming place for them.

      Caroline will also provide hands on instruction & materials to build a bee house.  A bee habitat of your own making to take home & adorn your garden.

At the conclusion of the workshop, you’ll be treated to a glass of Hunt Country Wine in our Tasting Room.  We encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy with your selected wine on the Hunt Country grounds.  There will be local picnic snacks, wines by the glass/bottle, local beer, and other beverages available for purchase in the tasting room as well.
