Bee Expedition
Explore the Arboretum on a guided bumblebee walk that highlights the science of these pollinators. Participants gain insight into the work of a bumblebee field scientist, observe careful capture methods, and watch the bees returned safely afterward. The route is gentle and short, the pace is unhurried, and there is ample time for questions, with the outing wrapping up once every question has been addressed. Registration is required, and each session is limited to one family or group to keep the experience personal.
