Bumble Bees in My Backyard!

Calendar/Event Details

What are those fuzzy bees that are fatter than honey bees? How do they differ from wasps and hornets? Why are bumble bees unique and important, and why do they matter to us? How can we help this pollinator do its job? Learn about Bellevue’s busy buzzer, the Yellow-Faced Bumble Bee, Bombus vosnesenskii, the Bellevue Master Naturalist Species of the Year. Short film, art activity, and a bee-centered game followed by a walk around the wetland at Lewis Creek Park to (hopefully) see and hear bumble bees doing their favorite thing - pollinating flowers! Pre-registration is required for children and adults. Register for course #117757 at link below.
