Join Us for Events on Bees, Gardening, Food Justice, Sustainability, and More!
The Bee Conservancy hosts a range of free online and in-person community events to educate, engage, and inspire environmental stewardship. Our tours, lectures, and kid-focused fun are here to serve and build community through the celebration of our favorite pollinators: bees!
From film screenings and live honey bee “hive dives,” to nature walks, community science tours, expert panels, and arts and crafts, we’ve got a something for anyone interested in learning more about the keystone species that pollinates one in three bites of food we eat and 80% of the world’s flowering plants.
