To mark National Pollinator Week, June 16-22, 2014, join us for an open house at the Honey Bee Haven on Friday, June 20, from 5:30 to 7pm.

Here's your chance to talk to experts about bees and bee gardens; all visitors will take home a free pack of zinnia seeds while they last.  Our best heat-tolerant and water-wise bee plants will be in bloom so this will be a great opportunity to learn more about buckwheats, salvias, yarrows, and other bee plants that thrive in our hot, dry summer weather.

The garden is located on Bee Biology Road near the campus airport.  From Hutchison Drive, take Hopkins and make the first right onto Bee Biology Road; the garden is at the end of the road. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
