Pinson Mounds State Park to host annual Bee Fest on May 18

PINSON, Tenn. — Mark your calendars, it’s time to be a busy bee this month.

The Bee Fest and Virtual Honeybee 5K is taking place at Pinson Mounds on Saturday, May 18.

There will be craft and educational vendors set up from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Proceeds of the run will go to help the Honeybee Project at Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park and the friends of Pinson Mounds.

“In our gift shop, we’re gonna have our very own honey that come off the park from our own honey bees and so you can hopefully snag yours. There’s not too many of them so first come, first serve on that Saturday, so hopefully you can get some while they’re still available,” said Dedra Ekberg, Park Ranger.

Pinson Mounds is located at 460 Ozier Road in Pinson.
