Mid-Winter Bee Keeper's Feast

Join us for the 2nd annual Mid-Winter Bee Keeper's Feast at the Robert Mondavi Institute of Food and Wine Science.

Celebrate mead, the world’s oldest fermented beverage, on Saturday, January 31st at the Robert Mondavi Institute on the UC Davis Campus.

For the second consecutive year, the Honey and Pollination Center will host “A Mid-Winter Bee Keeper’s Feast: A Taste of Mead and Honey.” Mead, a fermented blend of honey, water and often fruits, yeast, or spices, has been dated to about 7000 BCE.

The number of meaderies in the United States has grown in the last ten years from 30-40 meaderies to over 250.
