About this Event

Take a summer stroll through Green-Wood and there’s one thing you’ll see (and hear) at every turn—tons of wild bees buzzing about their daily routine. Bee biologist Sarah Kornbluth of the American Museum of Natural History leads this walking tour to highlight how bees live, the resources they need, and where they make their homes across the Cemetery. Learn about the diversity of wild bee species found at Green-Wood (including bumble, carpenter, miner, leaf cutter, sweat, and more) and beecome more attune to small worlds around you.

Brightly colored clothes are discouraged; you’ll get mistaken for a source of nectar.
