Rock Hill — the York County city on the Catawba River in South Carolina's Piedmont, where the rolling red clay hills and river bottomlands support an impressive diversity of tulip poplar, black locust, sourwood in the Blue Ridge foothills, muscadine grape vine, goldenrod, and Catawba River corridor wildflower that yields some of the Piedmont's most flavorful honeys from landscapes transitioning from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Sandhills — is home to a thriving beekeeping community in one of the Carolinas' most rapidly growing urban-agricultural borderlands. This October festival at Fountain Park in Rock Hill's cultural center celebrates York County's Piedmont honey heritage through producers from across the Catawba River Valley spanning York, Chester, Lancaster, and Union counties in South Carolina and Mecklenburg County in neighboring North Carolina, competitive honey shows featuring the region's prized tulip poplar, sourwood, and Piedmont wildflower varieties, educational programs on sustainable beekeeping in South Carolina's transitional Piedmont ecosystem, guided tastings connecting Catawba Valley honey with local muscadine wine and artisan cheese traditions, and presentations on the ecological importance of pollinators in the Catawba-Wateree River watershed's agricultural and natural landscapes.
