VANCOUVER – UnBEElievable Honey Bees – CANCELLED
- 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Unfortunately, we will have to cancel tomorrow’s Explorer Day and reschedule to another date. With the forecast for rain in the morning, Cassie won’t be able to bring her bees out (and it won’t be very much fun sitting on the uncovered grass for 2 hours!).
We will let you know when we decide on a new date.
__________________________
Join Beekeeper Cassie as we learn all about different types of bees, lifecycle, beekeeping and the relationship between pollinators and plants. Cassie will bring real live working honey bee hives so you can see our bees up close and personal.

Location: Oak Meadows Park at the bug hotel on 37th Ave just east of Oak Street
The Honey Bee Centre is a small family business, commercial honey farm, country store, educational facility, CFIA registered packing facility, visitor attraction and so much more. Honey Bee Centre is committed to providing an unBEElievable experience whether it’s in their store, at a program or out in the community, the goal is to educate about bees!
Please note that since we will be working with bees, we may have to cancel due to unfavourable weather conditions.
We will have a tent set up so please bring chairs if you do not want to be sitting on the ground during Cassie’s talk.
