The Bee Conservancy presents their 4th annual World Bee Day festival — a FREE family-friendly day that celebrates the 20,000+ bee species that pollinate 80% of the world’s flowering plants! Join to discover the fascinating world of ground- and cavity-nesting bees, learn how to build sustainable pollinator habitats, and commit to everyday actions you can take to save the bees.
This year’s festivities will take place in Colonels Row. Get ready for fun, educational activities including a look inside a honey bee observation hive, a pollinator walk, a seed ball making station, community science projects, honey tastings, a community art project, and more! Activities for kids will include storytime readings, face painting, and nature crafts.
Enjoy complimentary gift bags and goodies from sponsor Zarbee’s on a first-come, first-serve basis.
