Youth Nature Series: Building a Wild Bee Hotel

Become a backyard hero in our hands-on Wild Bee Hotel Workshop! Kids will discover the secret lives of solitary bees—nature’s gentle, super-pollinators—while building their very own wooden nesting home.
Using natural materials like wooden frames and hollow stems, participants will craft a safe haven to take home and hang in their gardens. We’ll learn why bees love "tunnel" homes and how to attract these fuzzy friends to your flowers. It’s the perfect mix of crafting, nature science, and outdoor fun for aspiring young conservationists!
