The Bee Haven Workshop: Craft, Weld & Conserve

Join us for a hands-on creative experience where art, sustainability, and craftsmanship come together! In this unique workshop, you’ll learn the basics of MIG welding—no experience required! Guided by professional metal artist Stacey Mrva at Ironwood Studios, you’ll weld your own steel honeybee before attaching it to a beautifully crafted Cedar Mason Bee House from Sweetwood Mountain Honey Co. The result? A functional, eco-friendly wild bee house perfect for your garden or as a thoughtful gift.

🌿 Why Mason Bees?

Mason bees are gentle, non-aggressive pollinators that help boost plant health and biodiversity. By building a bee house, you’re directly supporting pollinator conservation while creating a meaningful, handcrafted piece.
