Two Honey Festivals for Northern Colorado Each September

Many Coloradoans not only love honey for sweetening the pantry, they also love its health benefits. Two festivals, one in Loveland and one in Niwot, will celebrate both things.

When you consider the health benefits of raw honey from your local community, you'd think there would be more festivals across the Fort Collins area celebrating; maybe within the next few years we'll see places like Berthoud, Estes Park and Longmont launch their own festivals.

According to CSU, there are 3,500 bee species in North America with Colorado having 1,000. Bee populations are in decline due to a combination of human caused stressors including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide exposure.

While wasps can be the bane of many people's existence, honey bees (unless you're allergic to them) seem to get a free pass. Not only do they produce that sweet, sweet, honey, they also help to pollinate crops and help us humans.
