MSPIB Farmers Market - Honeybee & Pollinator Day

June 13 is Honeybee & Pollinator Day at the MSPIB Farmers Market, featuring the Rocky Acres Family Farm fully contained observation hive filled with live honeybees.
Come discover the secret life of honeybees while they create their honeycomb, make honey, and care for their young!
All the honeybees will be locked in their hive for the event.
Educational material about additional pollinators, like butterflies, will be provided courtesy of Copies Galore.
Honeybee & Pollinator Day at the MSPIB Farmers Market is sponsored by Rocky Acres Family Farm in West Portsmouth and Copies Galore, located at 709 Fourth Street in Portsmouth.
Honeybee & Pollinator Day is an America 250 Celebration event complementing Ohio's theme for June, "Ohio Outdoors: Exploring Ohio's Natural Resources."
During the season, the Farmers Market is open from 9am to 1pm every Saturday on The Roy Rogers Esplanade. The Esplanade is located on the northeast corner of Chillicothe Street and Gallia Street in Downtown Portsmouth, Ohio.
The Main Street Portsmouth In Bloom [MSPIB] Farmers Market was founded by the DeAtley Family. Laurel, Craig, and Heather DeAtley recognized the need to provide a Downtown space for the region's Farms and Cottage Industry to share produce and wares with The Community.
​In addition to booths, the MSPIB Farmers Market also features events, including agriculture education, art activities, and musical performances. A number of area institutions attend the Farmers Market to provide information on events and services, especially those catering to youth and seniors.
