Pollinator Power: Building Native Bee Houses
2026-06-21 12:30 - 14:30
Advance registration recommended
We’re buzzing into the world of native bees and the important homes they need to survive. While honeybees get a lot of attention, many of our local pollinators, like mason bees and leafcutter bees are solitary species that don’t live in hives. Instead, they nest in hollow stems, wood tunnels, and other natural nooks.
In this hands-on, family-friendly program, we’ll explore the life cycle and nesting habits of these quiet pollination powerhouses, and why providing habitat is just as important as planting flowers. Then, each family will get to build their own bee house to take home, a perfect way to support pollinators right in your backyard or garden!
Whether or not you joined us for the first session, this program offers a fun and meaningful way to connect science, conservation, and creativity!
