The LA County Fair is one of the largest county fairs in the country and the most-visited event in the Los Angeles region in September. It's an end-of-summer tradition for many. 

OBSERVATION HIVE:

Gather round our fabulous HONEY BEE OBSERVATION HIVE. See if you can FIND THE QUEEN! Let us spark your interest in honey bees, their amazing lifestyle and social structure, how they help feed the world, how they have survived for millions of years, and learn what you can do to help the bees.

Honeybees are responsible for nearly 1/3 of our entire diet in regards to the pollination services they provide for a large majority of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes.



HONEY! HONEY! HONEY!

Delicious pure, natural, 100% raw local honey direct from Los Angeles County beekeepers
is available for purchase. 
Pick up HONEY STIX in YUMMY flavors and vibrant colors. 

VOLUNTEERS LACBA AND BASC MEMBERS:

Experienced beekeepers educate our community about bees! You'll learn more than you could ever imagine about bees by joining us at the LA County Fair Bee Booth.
