In summer, bats fly above the meadows, spiders build their webs, and insects make a unique type of music. We will also look for nocturnal birds, including night-herons, nighthawks, and owls. Participants are encouraged to use their senses to discover and enjoy the natural world. The children will also take part in a scavenger hunt which enhances their sense of discovery. Activities include viewing the inside of a hive, searching for a queen bee, and learning to recognize the different castes of honey bees.
Program is concluded with a taste of honey from the hives.
Limit 12 participants per program. See also the Bee Explorers Program . Natural Areas Dept.
