It's almost here! Please join us in celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Honey Bee Haven this Saturday, May 2, from 10 am to 2 pm. There will be beekeeping demonstrations, information about native bee conservation and identification, and lots to learn about bee gardening. And if that weren't enough, we'll be giving out free wildflower seeds and ice cream from Häagen-Dazs. Yes, free ice cream!
We'll also have bee houses for sale, a raffle, and free one-year subscriptions (or renewals) to Better Homes and Gardens for anyone who donates $10 or more to the garden.
Here is the complete schedule, along with photos of some of the bees you might see at the Haven:
Native bee information: experts will be available from 10 to 2
Beekeeping demonstrations: 10:45; repeat @ 11:15; 11:45; 12:15; and 12:45pm
Donor and volunteer recognition: 10:30 to 11:30
Bee gardening talk: 1:00pm; repeat @ 1:30 pm

The Haven is on Bee Biology Road; see campus map location 772 for the detailed location. From the intersection of Fifth and Anderson, proceed south on Anderson (which is called LaRue on campus)and turn right at the second light at Hutchison. Proceed west on Hutchison. Go 1/4 of the way through the first traffic circle and 3/4 of the way through the second to stay on Hutchison. Proceed about 3/4 mile west and turn left onto Hopkins Road at the sign for the campus airport. Make your first left onto Bee Biology Road; the garden is at the end of the road. Directional signs are posted whenever we have an event at the garden. Hope to see you there.
