The Buzz on Beekeeping and Pollinators!

Today we learned all about Pollinators from a real beekeeper - our own Environmental Educator Sam! She showed us the ropes of beekeeping, introduced us to various pollinators (including hummingbirds, moths, bees, bats and more) and even had the Urban Naturalists dissect flowers to learn all about the parts! What a fun day!

Hmmm...what is this mystery object?

Trying out all the gear!

Sam shows us a sample beekeeper hive while Jaida models the outfit!

Our crazy ladies!

Hector drew an EXCELLENT representation of all the
kids of pollinators! 

Jaida is a fantastic artist!
