Want to know how many eyes a honey bee has? Which plants are pollinator-friendly? What locally-made honey tastes like? Amber from MOB Honey will tell you just why bees are the world's greatest superorganism, and how you can take local action for biodiversity.
Bee jackets with veils will be provided to all participants.
