THE SHOPS AT SKYVIEW INVITES GUESTS TO ITS THIRD ANNUAL EARTH DAY CELEBRATION
The Shops at Skyview, a multi-level shopping destination in Flushing, Queens (https://www.theshopsatskyviewny.com), invites the community to its “buzzworthy” third annual Earth Day celebration on Tuesday, April 22nd, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. To draw attention to the important role bees play in a thriving ecosystem, both by pollinating nearby plants and creating honey which is rich in antioxidants, ShopCore Properties, owner and manager of The Shops at Skyview, installed beehives at 30 of its properties in 12 states last year, including at the Shops at Skyview. In preparation for the center’s upcoming Earth Day event, The Shops at Skyview has been harvesting and packaging honey from its very own beehive and will offer it to the community as a free gift during its “BEE Kind to Our Planet” 2025 Earth Day event. During the event, in a special Beekeeping 101 session on Level 4, guests will learn the basics of beekeeping and the importance of bees to our ecosystem. There will also be a live “Earth’s Melody” musical performance inspired by nature’s beauty, a beeswax candle workshop, sampling of the center’s own honey products, and a number of fun-filled raffles and giveaways for eco-friendly prizes. There will also be a t-shirt revamp bar where guests can give old t-shirts formerly purchased from Skyview retailers a new look; participants in this craft activity can choose between artist-led custom drawings or DIY iron-on patches. Gifts, product sampling and craft materials are while supplies last. While the center’s “BEE Kind to Our Planet” event is free and open to the public, pre-registration is recommended to ensure the center has enough giveaways and craft supplies on hand; to register to attend or to learn more, visit https://www.theshopsatskyviewny.com/events.
