FAMILY PROGRAM: Let’s Build a Native Bee House

June 26, 2022 @ 10:00 am 3:00 pm

Register Now

Join Prafulla Prabhu for this hands-on, one-hour workshop where you will leave with a bee house to attract gentle native bees to your garden. Bees are an important part of our ecosystems and our lives. From coffee, fruits, and vegetables, to candles, wax artworks, cotton and so much more – bees play an important role in modern life. More importantly, they are responsible for a third of the food we consume on a regular basis. With changes to our climate, our relationship with native bees is coming into sharper focus. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to make a bee house that can be placed in their backyard to attract gentle native bees. The program price includes the cost of the bee house which you will take home after the program.
