Frequently asked questions

How do I get a reduced cost ticket?

We offer reduced cost tickets in exchange for 3 hours of workshare. Use the coupon code WORKSHARE to check out. All workshare hours must be completed a week prior to the workshop. If they are not, the ticket holder will be charged the remaining $75 for a full cost ticket.

What should I bring?

A water bottle filled with water; sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat if it’s sunny or rain gear if it’s stormy; & a snack. UGC will provide all the tools you’ll need to work, but if you have a pair of work gloves, please bring them. Bring any medical device (inhaler, epi-pen, etc) you may need.

What should I wear?

Please wear closed-toe shoes, clothes that you don’t mind getting really dirty (pants and long-sleeved shirts are recommended), and bring an extra layer and rain gear–just in case. Please refrain from wearing perfumes/fragrances to protect our bees.
