All About Bees

The Museum is offering a series of fun, adventurous and educational kits for students 2^nd grade and above. This is the last kit of the season and we will have a close look at bees and discover the importance of bees as pollinators. Learn about the bees that are native to the desert and how to welcome them to your garden.

As always supplies are limited. Please register early.
