Bees at the Vineyard: An Unlikely yet Beneficial Partnership

Flying Goat Cellars is home to a thriving bee colony, a testament to the benefits of beekeeping at a vineyard.

The vineyard's beekeeping efforts promote healthy growth and fruit production through pollination.

Bees support the local ecosystem by pollinating flowers and trees.

The Lompoc Valley Beekeepers Association hosts monthly meetings at Flying Goat Cellars, a hub for bee enthusiasts.

Bees are not necessary for grapevines to reproduce, but they do enhance the ecosystem's health.

The vineyard's beekeeping education efforts focus on teaching people about the importance of natural and non-toxic products.

Griffith and Yost have learned about the toxic effects of systemic plant care formulas and promote their use instead.

The vineyard hosts fun and engaging events, such as live demonstrations and meet-and-greets, to build a sense of community.

Bee education and outreach programs have created a sense of camaraderie among beekeepers.

The April 26 event will feature a live demonstration beehive, opportunities to ask questions, and a meet and greet with the vineyard owners.
