This free, family-friendly event is offered in partnership with the Alberta Native Bee Council and is a fantastic opportunity to explore the fascinating world of native bees.

This free event is an opportunity for residents to learn all about the diverse range of native bees, how to identify them, where they live, what they eat and what you can do to help them.
