Romance The first ever Oregon Coast Honey Lovers Festival will be held at the Yachats Commons from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17. The event will feature the opportunity to taste a variety of locally produced honeys and meads, as well as to learn about attracting pollinators to the gar- den, beekeeping and much more. The festival includes speak- ers, displays, vendors, tastings, a children's puppet show, infor- mation on beekeeping, pollina- tors, pollinator-friendly land- scaping, special dishes and beverages featuring honey and pollinator themed goods and crafts. Participants include repre- sentatives from Central Coast Beekeepers Association, The Oregon Bee Project, Pollinator Restoration Project, Shonnard's Nursery, The Thyme Garden, Mushroom Peoples Honey, Honey Tree Apiaries, J.W. Mercantile, Nectar Creek, Penny's Puppet Productions, as well as a full schedule of pre- senters, including Dr. Andony Melathopoulos, OSU and Oregon Bee Project, and Dr. David Gordon, Emeritus Professor of Entomology, PSU. “Did you know Oregon has over 500 species of bees, including four species that are actively managed in ingenious ways for crop pollination?” Melathopoulos asked. “We invite people to come to the festival to learn who these bees are and some of the weird and wonderful features of their lives.” Intended as a family fun event, the Oregon Coast Honey Lovers Festival will have plen- ty for all ages to enjoy. There will be a children's area, an observation hive, and a special puppet presentation on honey- bees. In addition, many local mer- chants and restaurants through- out Yachats will participate in the honey and pollinator theme offering delicious dishes and a variety of products. Yachats Commons is located at 441 Highway 101. A $5 donation is suggested to receive festival admission.
