Green-Wood Through a Beekeeper’s Eyes (Member-Only Tour)
August 13, 2023 , 11:00am – 12:30pm
When a beekeeper visits Green-Wood, what do they notice? Join Beekeeper Amy Grumbling for an exclusive look at Green-Wood through her eyes! On this tour, Amy will take you to some of her favorite spots at Green-Wood, including the bee hives, graves of inspiring individuals, and horticultural highlights. You’ll learn about the ways bees and honey have been used throughout history, and look ahead to what the future holds for these tiny but oh-so-important pollinators. You’ll come away with new stories of Green-Wood and a new appreciation for the ways different people interact with the Cemetery.
Price: $15 for members, and $25 for guests of members
(see details below)
Amy Grumbling has been a beekeeper at The Green-Wood Cemetery for 6 years. At The Bee Conservancy, she is a Beekeeper Educator, managing hives at the Prospect Park Zoo and speaking to the public on Governor’s Island about pollinators, their habitats, and how we can help them. She is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, making work about independent artists, and the connections between art and science; nature and community; place and identity; and memory and documentation. She is currently editing a feature documentary film, and working on an audio documentary series about her observations and musings working as a beekeeper at Green-Wood.
Special caution advised for people with allergies to bees. All attendees ages 2 and up require a ticket. Children MUST be accompanied by an adult.
