Bee Rooted Class and Hive Hosting Participation Waiver of Liability
Bee Rooted Class and Host Participation Waiver of Liability
To cover the liability issues of possible injury while participating in events and/or programs, participants are required to sign a Waiver of Liability. It is assumed that class participants are in good physical health, and no health problems exist which make class attendance dangerous to participants. As honey bee colonies are maintained at this site, no one who has a demonstrated allergy to bee stings may participate in this class. Participants must assume all risk of injury from stings or accidents while attending the class. Bee Rooted and its owners will not pay for any medical treatment arising from class activities. Minors attending the short course must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
In consideration of participating in beekeeping classes or other educational event, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that:
Assumption of Risks: Participation in the Beginning Beekeeping Class and / or Hive Hosting Program carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from 1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains to 2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries or other injuries associated with the handling of and proximity to bees, to 3) bee stings
I, _________________________________, have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in the Beekeeping Class and / or Hive Hosting Program. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.
Indemnification and Hold Harmless: I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD BEE ROOTED, ALL OWNERS, PROPERTY LOCATION OWNERS, AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS HARMLESS from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorney’s fees, brought as a result of my involvement in the Beginning Beekeeping Class and to reimburse it for any such expenses incurred.
Acknowledgment of Understanding: I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
I have read this waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I also certify that I do not have a demonstrated allergy to bee stings.

Community Garden Addendum
In order to participate, community gardens will need to add the following liability waiver clauses to their plot application and member agreement:
"I am aware that participation as a volunteer may require periods of standing, lifting and carrying and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury. I am voluntarily participating in this activity with knowledge of the hazards and potential dangers involved, and agree to accept any and all risks of personal injury and property damage. This includes any harm that might result from working around or with bees and beehives.
The volunteer agrees to waive and release the community garden and beekeeper from any and all potential claims for injury, illness, damage, or death which the volunteer may have against the community garden or beekeeper that might arise out of the volunteer’s service and to hold the community garden and beekeeper harmless there from. This includes any harm that might result from working around or with bees and beehives.
I agree to stay at least 20 feet away from all beehives at all times, unless registered for an approved class and have completed a class liability waiver. I agree to not bother the bee hives in any way. This includes not allowing pets to approach the hives. I also agree that any work that involves loud noises and / or machinery within 350 feet of the hive will be delayed until the beekeeper has been notified and has scheduled to close the hives or has scheduled to move the hives for the duration of the work."
I, _____________________________________, the _________________________________ Community Garden Legal Representative do hereby agree that this liability waiver clause will be added to the Community Garden plot application and member agreement.
