Curious to know what goes on in a beehive? Want to know how to tell the difference between a queen, a worker bee, and a drone?

Join beekeeper Tori Coleman as they inspect one of the farm’s rooftop hives! Discover what all of the buzz is about as Tori explains why honeybees are important pollinators, the thrills and challenges of urban beekeeping, and how you could get set up with your own beehive.

You’ll then suit up and get to observe a beehive inspection! We'll be on the lookout for a healthy queen, bees busy making honey, pollen stores and more. Expect to be fascinated, in awe and possibly fall in love with these little ladies by the time the workshop is over. You'll start to notice honeybees all over the city once you know what to look for!

About Tori Coleman: Tori is a beekeeper and educator in NYC. They have worked with Raymapu Miel, Girl Next Door Honey, and Sacred Beeometry to hone their beekeeping practice since 2018. Tori currently offers swarm retrieval, live colony removal, hive tours, and hive management services for clients throughout New York City and New York State. When they are not elbows deep in bees, Tori can be found riding their bike or baking bread.

Our workshops and events are available at a sliding scale. We invite you to practice economic solidarity with your community and choose the ticket tier that makes most sense with your financial situation.

  • This tier is at the market rate and reflects the true cost of the service, labor and expertise of producing the workshop/event. This price point allows us to generate a profit. We encourage those with access to wealth to opt for this tier as it enables Brooklyn Grange to offer more tickets at an accessible price.

  • This tier reflects the cost of our service labor and expertise required to produce the workshop/event and allows us to make a small profit. We encourage those to opt for a Sustainable Ticket if the price point of a General Ticket is prohibitive.

  • This ticket tier reflects our intention to make our events open for all! We want all members of our community to enjoy Brooklyn Grange no matter their financial situation. Opt for the Solidarity ticket if General or Sustainable is not accessible to you right now.
