PSBA Summer Picnic and Penn State Extension Bee Extravaganza!

Join us for a fun-filled, educational weekend focused on bees, beekeeping, and hive products. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, demonstrations, and informative presentations designed for all experience levels. Saturday features the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Association Summer Picnic, Beekeeping Olympics, and a drone congregation area-finding activity. On Sunday, attendees will rotate through 30–60-minute sessions across three tracks: beginning beekeeping, experienced beekeeping, and value-added product production, followed by a late-afternoon drone congregation area-finding activity. Lunch is provided both days.

This is a new event that combines the PSBA Summer picnic with a mini-beekeeping convention with many beekeeping activities. It’s really a great opportunity to meet beekeepers from across the state and to dive deep into many different aspects of beekeeping.

The Guild Honey Trailer will be one of the featured attractions with as well, so we hope you can come out and share your pride in our newest addition to the extraction line up.
