Description

Everyone knows about honey bees, but did you know NY has over 400 species of native bees? Join a Park Ranger to learn all about NY's native bees and what we can do to help them. This program will involve a woodworking demonstration where you'll learn how to make a bee hotel- a place where certain bees will make their nest. All supplies will be provided and no sign ups are necessary. Keep in mind- participants will not be making their own project during this program.
