Build a Bee Hotel

Kids are invited to explore the fascinating world of native bees and other insect pollinators during this fun, hands-on program. Participants will learn why pollinators matter and then get creative by building their own “bee hotel” using recycled and natural materials to take home and support local bees.

This program is free to attend. All youth must be accompanied by an adult.
