What’s that buzzing noise you say? Why, it’s Bees(!) in the Archive! Don’t worry, we don’t mean actual bees, just the illustrated kind. 

Join us on Saturday, September 24th from 11am-2pm for this family friendly event and channel your inner naturalist. Join APS educators as we use our observational skills to identify different types of bees and learn how people collected and shared information about these pollinators.
