"Catch the BUZZ" Second Saturday June 9
Historic Apalachicola Main Street and the merchants of downtown Apalachicola celebrate the Tupelo Honey Bee with a “BEEdazzling” schedule featuring local bee keepers, artist
demonstrations, bee related products and honey infused menus. After dinner at one of our fine restaurants that offer honey infused delicacies and cocktails stroll down to Riverfront Park for an outdoor concert along the banks of the Apalachicola River. The ONLY river that hosts the tupelo tree necessary to make world famous Tupelo Honey along with the diligent work of our bees. Not only are bees an integral part of what makes our area so special, but bees in general are a critical part of the ecosystem chain around the world. Recreationally raising bees has become more popular as the demand for organic food has increased, and you can learn more about these two facts from local experts giving presentations throughout our historic shopping area. The bee has also become an important decorative element dating as far back as the Napoleonic era, and can be seen today as the “it” motif in many housewares such as ceramics, textiles and metalwork. Visit our many shops to find the most “BEEutiful” gift to adorn your own home. Look for the yellow and blue flags, indicating where you can find “ Catch the Buzz “Second Saturday" participating businesses.
