SALMON ARM – Pollinator Explorer Day

🐝🌼 Buzz Into Our Pollinator Explorer Day! 🦋🌸

Join us to learn about the tiny heroes of the ecosystem and tour some honey beehives with local beekeeper Arnold.

Bee suits will be available for those who wish to get close to the hives, but we ask that no one attend who is hypersensitive to bee stings!

 

 What’s in Store?

  • BeeHive Tour – Beekeeper Arnold will show us his honey bee frames, with honey, brood, pollen, and larvae – and hopefully the queen
  • Flower Dissection – Carry out your own flower dissection to learn how pollination works
  • Creative Crafts – Make a bee hotel or colour a flower anatomy page
  • Sweet Treats – We may get to sample a sweet treat from the hive

 This is a free event – bring your friends, family, and curiosity!

Feel free to share our info page (attached) with your friends!

 

Please email salmonarm@naturekidsbc.ca to register.

Explorer Day Etiquette:

Be prepared to HAVE FUN

Pre-registration with your Club Leader is required for most Explorer Days (Friends are welcome if space permits).

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for passport stamping and organization. Starting times are firm, and Leaders cannot wait for late-comers!

Please stay with the Leader and let them know if you are leaving early.

Children must always be accompanied by an adult guardian, who is responsible for their behaviour. Children consistently disrupting the experience of others may be asked to leave.

Bring appropriate weather gear, sunscreen, snacks, water, and other useful tools like binoculars, sketch books, cameras, and magnifying glasses.
