There are many holidays that go unnoticed throughout the year, such as National Ice Cream Day on July 21st, National Dance Like a Chicken Day on May 14th, or National Wear Pajamas to Work Day on April 16th. This year, the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will be celebrating National Honey Bee Day on Saturday, August 17th at 10:00 a.m. – one of those forgotten holidays!
Every year, the third Sunday in August is National Honey Bee Day. This is a day of awareness for honey bees when beekeepers and honey bee enthusiasts from across the U.S. celebrate honey bees. They recognize the bees contribution to our everyday lives as a means of protecting this important and critical species. Join the environmental educator at the Center to celebrate these hardworking pollinators, learn more about the importance of pollination from all species, what you can do at home to help these species, and try some honey from local farms. Please note this program is intended for individuals to learn about honey bees, not how to become a beekeeper – there will not be a beekeeper at this program, only the environmental educator presenting from an ecological/natural resources perspective.
All youth must be accompanied by an adult.
$4 per person up to $12 for a family. Children under the age of three are free! The recommended age for these programs is 5+.
