Little bottles of golden honey donated by Richard Edwords of Kamps Propane will be the par­ty favors. Kamps is a long-time member of the Alpine Mountain Empire Chamber of Commerce, which has partnered with the Alpine Community Center to present the bees’ knees event.

Alpine Community Center Director and Queen Bee Brunch Co-Chair Sue Hobbs; commu­nity center Director Cindi Rob­ertson and community center volunteer Beverly Stacy worked with Lori Bledsoe, chamber membership and events direc­tor, to fill more than 200 jars with beautiful, sticky golden honey.

“It was fun,” Bledsoe said. “I thought it was going to be a messy job, but Sue Hobbs — with all her experience working in her former Alpine Bakery — made the job go fast.”
