For Len Arsenault and his wife, Sandra, the most rewarding hobbies are the ones that buzz right to you.

The Sturgeon Bay couple will participate in their third Community Honey Harvest at Crossroads at Big Creek after taking up beekeeping in 2022. It started when Sandra cleaned up her parents’ house in Sevastopol after the Arsenaults retired following a career in the United States Air Force. She stumbled upon her parents’ old beekeeping equipment and told Len she wanted to get into beekeeping. In the years since, the Arsenaults have fluctuated between having two to five hives, sending the fruits of their bees’ labor to friends and family as gifts. Len says his favorite part of beekeeping is not the bees but the people he has met because of them.

You can learn more about beekeeping at the Door County Beekeepers Club’s Community Harvest at Crossroads at Big Creek from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event features demonstrations, kids’ activities, and honey tastings.
