Did you know that tiny honeybees are responsible for one out of every three bites of food you eat? The world of honeybees goes by every day virtually unnoticed and most often, unexplained. The Honeybee Discovery Center educates the public about the importance of pollinators, especially honeybees, in our environment. During our guided tour, we will learn about why honeybees are essential for agriculture, ecological balance, and biodiversity, and why they are vanishing at nearly 46% per year. We will enjoy lunch nearby at the Hive restaurant where we can observe their live beehive and peruse the adjacent Bees to Blossoms gift shop.
Depart 8:45 a.m. from Davis Target and 9:05 a.m. from University Retirement Community. Return in reverse approximately 3:30 and 4 p.m.
