The Buzz About Bees

We are celebrating all things Bees this summer with our interactive Story Walk at Bee-autiful Kingswood Park on 6/22. Mason Public Library, Warren County Soil and Water, and Deerfield Township are excited to bring the book Please, Please the Bees to life and create a hands-on experience for kids to learn the importance of bees in our environment. They will read and hear the story while strolling down the Pollinator Pathway, observe a bee hive in action, do crafts, sample honey, and more! Buzz on over for an evening of fun!
