Bees are essential to food production. When bees harvest nectar, they transfer pollen from flower to flower. This helps plants reproduce and contributes to the successful growth of the fruits and vegetables that humans eat. This process is called pollination. Bees and other pollinators help keep food on our tables!
All that effort calls for a celebration, and August 19, 2023, is WORLD HONEYBEE DAY! CMTM is honoring these incredible, hard-working pollinators with a full day of programs and events. Visitors will be able to:
Build a honeybee during an open MakerSpace session with recycled & reclaimed materials.
Design a pollinator to be little or fluffy, fast or funny.
Explore the science of honeybees by playing a pollination game and learn how honeybees communicate–through dancing!
World Honeybee Day programs are included with admission. Keep an eye on the CMTM Events and Programs Calendar for updates: https://www.kitetails.org/event-program-calendar
