More than Honey Bees, Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve

Friday September 23, 2022
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Kids 3 to 6 and their adult caregivers can join two naturalists for a fun-filled morning as we explore bees — from the honey bee, so familiar to all, to the wonderful diversity of native bees. Without the pollination done by bees and other pollinators, many of our foods would simply disappear. We will try out our own bee dances and make bee houses to take home for your own native bees, along with other activities. Please bring a snack for your child. Register. $10.

A recent graduate of the Rutgers Art & Design MFA program, Haynes will be designing scenic elements and costumes for Doane's new ballet, a partnership amplifying both artists' creative talents.
