Bee-Wise Coming to Friends Tent

Jessica Soto is a naturalist from Highland Park District’s Heller Nature Center. She is bringing Bee-Wise, her traveling bee exhibit to our market on June 8 and August 17.   DEC (District 65) teachers will assist in this wonderful and educational event. Jessica shared this tidbit to whet appetites.

“Honey bees play a huge role in our ecosystem, did you know that they help pollinate 1/3 of our food? Visit us to learn about the different roles of honey bees, how bees live, where honey comes from and to look up close at our portable observation hive to see all the bees hard at work. Stay after to talk with a Heller Beekeeper about questions you may have regarding honey bees or beekeeping and to take a look at our bee display.”
