Clovermead F.A.Q.

1- Is Clovermead wheel chair assessable?
Access to the store and farm is wheelchair assessable, the washroom is not.

2- Is there danger in getting stung?
Clovermead keeps most of their bee hives on other farm land so there are not 24 million bees flying around on the farm. The honey bees here are pretty friendly and you generally do not notice them. Just like a park! Honey bees are vegetarians, they eat pollen and collect nectar, they do not eat people. Honey bees will sting if they feel threatened, they will leave you along if you leave them alone.

3- Is there parking available for motor coaches?
Yes, we have adequate parking for motor coaches. If you have a bus load of people that would like to come by please call ahead so we can leave a parking space for you.

4- What happens if it rains?
Any hive demonstrations or bee beards will be cancelled or postponed if it is raining. The farm will still be open if you would like to be adventurous in the rain.

5- What are the winter hours?
The store is open 6 days a week from March until December. In January and February, the store is open 3 days a week, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The Adventure Farm is open from the beginning of June until the end of October.

6- When will the bees be on display in the trainstation?
The glass bee hive is filled with bees when it is warm during the day and night. The bees do not do well in this hive when it is cold. Usually the hive is ready the second week of June until the end of September.

7- Can we ride a bee?
Yes, you can! There is a wild stinging bee you are welcome to ride (a hanging barrel).
