bees and the many native bees in our gardens.
We will learn about specific plants that encourage these different varieties of bees as well as other pollinators. We will also learn about the fascinating world of honey bees and why they are in danger.”

bees and pollinators, but her favorite is the honey bee. Her passion is to someday have an
