Apiary Tour · June 5, 2027 · Porter, Indiana
Indiana Dunes Honey & Pollinator Trail Day celebrates the remarkable pollinator biodiversity found along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, where the Indiana Dunes National Park protects an extraordinary mosaic of ecosystems—beach, dune, oak savanna, prairie, and bog—that supports hundreds of bee species. Local beekeepers from Porter and LaPorte counties share honey produced from the park's diverse flora including wild bergamot, black-eyed Susan, goldenrod, and native clovers. Guided trail hikes interpret pollinator habitat restoration work, while honey tastings showcase how the dunes landscape creates unique floral notes in local honey. Expert talks cover native bee identification and how gardeners can support pollinators in the Great Lakes region.
