The Bee Con­ser­van­cy invites you to their 4^th 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 them to dis­cov­er the fas­ci­nat­ing world of ground- and cav­i­ty- nest­ing bees and the buzzy uni­verse of hon­ey bee hives. Learn how to build sus­tain­able pol­li­na­tor habi­tats, col­lect bee data to advance sci­ence, and every­day actions you can take to save the bees.

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 event spon­sor Zarbee’s on a first come, first serve basis.
