SUMMARY:Fields & Forests – What do Bees Need? *
DESCRIPTION:Help us kick-off Pollinator Week! Make your own native bee habitat by “painting” with yarn\, fleece\, pre-felt shapes\, and soapy water.

Learn how important our native bees are\, especially for growing food\, and what they need to thrive. For ages 4 and up\, including teens and adults. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Designed especially for families (including dads)\, but all are welcome.
