This vendor category is intended for artisans, makers, and creatives who sell handcrafted, homemade, or artist-designed goods that are not bee or beekeeping related (but we hope all crafters make on theme products!). Products must be grown, created, designed, or produced by the vendor and reflect original craftsmanship or artistic skill.
Examples of eligible items include, but are not limited to:
- Knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, and other fiber arts
- Woodworking and metalworking
- Handcrafted jewelry and accessories
- Original paintings, drawings, illustrations, and mixed media artwork
- Photography and photographic prints
- Handmade soaps, candles, bath, and body products
- Handcrafted mugs, tumblers, drinkware, and similar items
- Homemade goods and food craft items
- Other original, handmade or artist-created products
This category does not include mass-produced items, direct sales/MLM products, or commercially manufactured goods that are not designed or made by the vendor. Vendors applying under this category should be prepared to clearly represent their creative process and the handmade nature of their products.
Vendors are in 3 locations on the property: Arena, Outside, Inside Expo building. You will be able to select your vendor space after acceptance. Spaces start at $50 and vary by location and size with the largest in the arena at 10x20 (deep) for $75. You can always book a few if you need the room!

This vendor category is intended for individuals, farms, and small businesses offering retail items that are directly related to bees, beekeeping, or pollinators. This is the only sales category that allows resale products. We love products that are produced, crafted, or grown by the vendor and reflect a strong connection to local agriculture, sustainability, or bee-focused practices, but we allow bee themed products of all sorts to be sold.
Acceptable items include, but are not limited to: locally produced honey and hive products, beeswax candles and goods, handmade soaps or body products, bee-themed handcrafted items, hive equipment, beekeeper supplies and pollinator-related art or educational materials.
Priority may be given to vendors whose offerings support pollinator education, local food systems, or agricultural awareness. If you make it or craft it—and it connects to bees—this vendor category is for you.

NCSBA local chapters are invited to participate in the Bee Jubilee by hosting a vendor space designed to promote your club, grow membership, and engage the public in honeybee and pollinator education.
Chapter booths may be used to:
- Promote your local beekeeping association and recruit new members.
- Share educational information about honeybees, beekeeping, and pollinator conservation
- Offer club-related items for sale (such as honey or merchandise), if desired.
- Educational outreach is required for all chapter booths. Each participating chapter must provide public-facing honeybee or pollinator education throughout the event.
Booth Fee Options
- No-Cost Booth Space: Booth fees are waived for chapters that commit a minimum of three (3) volunteers, each volunteering two (2) hours during the Bee Jubilee event (outside your booth).
- Reduced Fee for Sales-Focused Booths: Chapters wishing to participate primarily as for-profit vendors selling products or merchandise may receive a 50% discount on the standard vendor booth fee only if they also commit a minimum of three (3) volunteers to assist with event operations. Chapters that do not provide volunteers will be charged the full vendor booth fee.
This opportunity allows NCSBA chapters to showcase their work, connect with the public, support pollinator education, and contribute to the success of the Bee Jubilee while strengthening the statewide beekeeping community.
This application is intended for non-profit organizations, educational groups, clubs, and students whose primary purpose is to provide public education, outreach, and informational resources. Booths in this category should focus on sharing knowledge, raising awareness, and engaging attendees through educational materials, demonstrations, or interactive learning experiences.
Appropriate participants include, but are not limited to, non-profit organizations, school or university programs, youth groups, extension services, environmental or conservation groups, and student-led projects. Topics may include honeybees, native pollinators, environmental stewardship, agriculture, sustainability, or related educational initiatives.
Sales and fundraising, if permitted, must be secondary to the educational mission of the booth and clearly aligned with the organization’s non-profit or educational purpose. This category is ideal for those who wish to inform, inspire, and educate the public while supporting the mission of Bee Jubilee and the broader pollinator community.
Vendors are in 3 locations on the property: Arena, Outside, Inside Expo building. You will be able to select your vendor space after acceptance and we will offer a booth discount after reviewing your application - based on a sliding scale that takes into consideration what you are providing.
This vendor category is for licensed breweries, wineries, cideries, meaderies, and other alcoholic beverage producers interested in selling or sampling alcoholic beverages at the event. Vendors must be the producer of the beverages offered; third-party resellers or distributors are not permitted.
Products should align with the event’s agricultural and craft-focused mission. Preference may be given to vendors whose beverages highlight local ingredients, honey or hive products, agricultural ties, or small-batch production methods.
Having alcohol at our event increases the cost of security and insurance. To cover those costs, we are setting the alcohol vendor fee at $150, which includes your vendor space and Drone Level Sponsorship. We will work with you to get you in a spot that will work well for you.
If you are a licensed producer offering responsibly served, locally crafted alcoholic beverages, this vendor category is for you.
This application is for vendors who cook and prepare food on-site or operate from a food truck or food trailer. Vendors in this category should expect to obtain required approvals and clearances from the Granville County Health Department, as applicable.

This category is not intended for packaged food, snacks, or beverages that are prepared off-site and sold without on-site cooking. Vendors offering items such as popcorn, ice cream, jams, jellies, baked goods, or similar products without a food truck, trailer, or on-site cooking setup should apply under the MISC VENDORS application instead.
