BEE Amazed at Gentle, Efficient Backyard Pollinators: Mason Bees

Join us for a presentation on the Mason bee, one of the many solitary bee species native to North America. These gentle, less-aggressive bees are terrific if you are looking to help save the pollinators in a low maintenance, safe and kid/pet friendly manner.

We are happy to welcome back Douglas and Susan Rose, Gorman Heritage Farm volunteers and backyard homesteaders. They will share their knowledge about the care and life cycle of the amazing mason bees that thoroughly pollinate spring-flowering trees, fruit trees, and plants. In addition, they will provide guidance on raising mason bees in your own backyard, including creating the best habitat for them to thrive in.

What does the cost of my ticket cover?

One ticket purchase covers the cost of attending the full 1.5 hour program, access to the handouts and any educational materials, and farm admission for you for the day. The farm is open from 9am-3pm.

What should I wear?

This presentation will happen both indoors and outdoors. Please dress for the weather. Layers are a good idea, and closed toed shoes are a must on our working farm.

Can children attend?

This presentation is recommended for young people who have an interest in bees and are ages 13+. They will need to have a ticket to attend.
