On Monday July 21st, we will depart BCC at 9:30 AM for a 10:30 AM tour of Spikenard Farm and HoneyBee Sanctuary in Floyd.
Please be aware that this is a sanctuary for bees and they will be everywhere during your visit. Honeybees are very gentle creatures but they will sting if stepped on, swatted or if they feel threatened. Some people are not aware that they are seriously allergic to bee stings until they are actually stung. Dark colors and some perfumes seem to agitate the bees so it is best to wear light colored clothing and avoid strongly-scented products during your visit.
The Sanctuary is an environment of respect and compassion – communing with the beings here and meeting them up close is an integral part of the experience. When coming here, consider yourself a visitor who is a welcome and invited guest into the honeybee’s home and please respect their surroundings.
After our tour, we will stop for lunch at the Floyd Country Store. We should return to the church by 2PM.
