Bees and Beyond: Pollinators at the Arboretum

Join pollinator expert Nicole Bell for a walk through the Arboretum’s meadows to find bees and other pollinators in their natural habitat. Nicole will use a sweep net to find and catch bees in the landscape so participants can see them up close, while we talk about the most common bees found in Massachusetts, where they live and what they eat, and the importance of places like the Arboretum for pollinator conservation.

Accessibility: This program involves walking over mowed grass and other uneven terrain.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.
