Fourth Fridays for Families: More than Just Honeybees with Priscilla Hayes and Peggy O’Connor (Sept. 27, 2024)
Free
Kids 3 to 6 and their adult caregivers can join Preserve naturalists Pracilla Hayes and Joanne Zuckerman for a fun-filled morning as we explore bees—from the honey bee, so familiar to all, to the wonderful diversity of native bees. Without the pollination done by bees and other pollinators, many of our foods would simply disappear. We will try out our own bee dances and make bee houses to take home for your own native bees, along with other activities. Please bring a snack for your child, as we will have a snack and talk period.
Priscilla Hayes has been designing and implementing hands-on environmental education programs for children since the 1990s, when she started introducing children to recycling, reuse and composting through the Robbinsville Clean Communities and Recycling program. She was the school garden educator for three Princeton schools. Hayes is turning her backyard into a meadow for bees, butterflies, birds and native plants.
