The first ever NC Honey Festival will be held in Whiteville Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The goal is to highlight the significance of bees in the environment, celebrate honey and honey products, encourage bee-friendly practices and promote beekeeping in the region. Whiteville is one of ten cities in North Carolina to have "Bee City" status, which means the city is recognized for environmental and agricultural practices that are not harmful to bees.
