Coffee & Conversation: Beekeeping From The Hive Up
2026-03-05 09:00 - 11:00 | New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation, 295 Sheep Davis Road, Concord, New Hampshire, 03301
☕ Come for the coffee, stay for the buzz. Join the New Hampshire Farm Bureau (NHFB) for our March Coffee & Conversation on Wednesday, March 5, as we dive into the fascinating world of beekeeping as a hobby — from the hive up.

Whether you’re bee-curious, dreaming of your first hive, or already enchanted by pollinators and honey jars, this conversation is for you. We’ll explore the basics of getting started, what it really takes to care for bees, and why so many people are drawn to this rewarding (and surprisingly practical) pastime.

Expect a relaxed, welcoming discussion, plenty of questions, shared stories, and—of course—good coffee and good company. No experience required… just a little curiosity and appreciation for our hardest-working insects.

The good news is that we each can make a difference for them, and our world.

The event is hosted by the Merrimack Conservation Committee and will be held in the Lowell Room at the Merrimack Public Library. Space is limited to 20 attendees. Preregister for this event after 2/14/26 at: https://merrimack.libcal.com/event/15956405

Join us Friday, May 1 (9:00 am–5:00 pm) and Saturday, May 2 (9:00 am–4:00 pm) at the Deerfield Fairgrounds for two full days of live demonstrations, expert-led workshops, running machinery, barnyard animals, lumberjack shows, and free horse-drawn wagon rides. With interactive exhibits and activities designed for all ages, the Expo offers something for families, gardeners, landowners, makers, and anyone curious about how things are grown, built, and made right here in New Hampshire.

Come explore, ask questions, watch skilled professionals at work, and experience agriculture and forestry in action. Whether you’re learning something new or just enjoying a fun day out, the Expo is a chance to connect with the people and practices that keep New Hampshire thriving.
