It's World Bee Day!

🐝🌼⁠ ⁠ Did you know we have 542(!!) native bee species in Georgia? These pollinators are such an important part of so many of our programs and spaces at the Nature Center - we couldn't pass up the opportunity to toot our horn a little for World Bee Day. ⁠ ⁠ We've loved seeing visitors get up-close with our honey bee hives since the bees returned in March, purchase our local honey, and of course enjoy the ongoing education for bee lovers in our Beekeepers Club and Junior Beekeepers programs. Swipe to see some pictures! ⁠ ⁠ PLUS this school year alone our Milkweed Project has planted 12 pollinator-friendly school gardens and coordinated 30 pollinator themed programs! 💐🐝 ⁠ ⁠ Basically we 💖 bees and pollinators. Happy World Bee Day!
