Did you know that beekeepers use a special color system to help identify the age of their queen honey bees? Each year, queens are marked with a specific color, allowing beekeepers to quickly tell what year their queen was born.
We thought that was pretty bee-utiful—so we've made it part of our festival tradition! 🐝💛
Each year, our festival T-shirts will feature the official queen bee color for that year! That means every year's shirt will be a little different, making them fun to collect while celebrating the amazing world of honey bees.
Get yours at the Roanoke Valley Beekeepers Association tent!
