For an exciting webinar from The Bee Conservancy! We will be taking a deep dive into the world’s 20,000 bee species, the threats that impact them, the habitats that support them, and impactful steps you can take to help them thrive. Get to know some of the species found buzzing around NYC’s parks, and arm yourself with tools to engage and inspire others in bee conservation.
The Bee Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting bees, safeguarding the environment, and securing food justice through community-based education, research, habitat creation, and advocacy. TBC currently runs eight urban bee sanctuaries across New York City. The Bee Conservancy’s Hive Dive will be led by our staff Beekeepers who maintain this local Brooklyn honey bee hive.
