Bugs & Brews: The Secret Lives of Bees, Ants & Wasps
Think you know bees, ants, and wasps? Think again.
Join Dr. Scott Debnam from the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium for an engaging evening exploring the remarkable world of social insects. Discover how honey bees make collective decisions without a leader, how ant colonies function as living superorganisms, and why wasps deserve far more appreciation than they usually receive.
You'll hear fascinating stories from the field, learn about the incredible adaptations that make these insects some of the most successful animals on Earth, and gain a new appreciation for the tiny creatures that shape our ecosystems every day.
Whether you're a seasoned naturalist, a backyard gardener, a beekeeper, or simply curious about the insects around you, this lively presentation is sure to change the way you see the world beneath your feet—and buzzing through your backyard.
Come grab a drink, bring your questions, and prepare to be amazed by the hidden lives of bees, ants, and wasps!
Date: Tuesday, December 1st
Time: Doors open at 6:30 PM, speaker at 7:15 PM.
Where: Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium, 1075 South Ave. W., Missoula, MT 59801
Be sure to get there when the doors open to give yourself ample time to explore the museum and Butterfly House before the lecture. Grab a beer, peruse the exhibits, and hold a bug or two at our encounter area!
