FAMILY PROGRAM: Let's Build a Bee House

Bees are an important part of our ecosystems and our lives. From coffee, fruits, and vegetables, to candles, wax artworks, cotton and so much more - bees play an important role in modern life. More importantly, they are responsible for a third of the food we consumes on a regular basis. With changes to our climate, our relationship with native bees is coming into sharper focus. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to make a bee house that can be placed in their backyard to attract gentle native bees. Program price includes the cost of the bee house which you will take home after the program.

Schedule:

• 10 - 11 a.m., OR
• 12 - 1 p.m.

Bee House Full Starter Kit Materials

• Bee house: Produced by local artisans with pine wood finished with organic wood stain.
• 40 tubular lakebed reeds and cardboard tubes

About Prafulla Prabhu

Praf (Prafulla) Prabhu is the founder and CBeeO (Chief Bee Officer) of Pollinate Canada. Pollinate Canada is on a mission to preserve and protect Canada’s native pollinator bees. Pollinator bees (unlike honey bees) are on the decline. With one in every three bites of food requiring pollination, it has become mission-critical to promote pollination and rejuvenate our immediate ecosystems.

Although Praf has worked with different bee species over the last few years, her enduring passion is in nurturing native pollinator bees in urban and rural areas. She regularly conducts workshops and classes on pollinator bees and hopes to inspire people to join the movement to pollinate Canada.

Previously Praf worked in higher education management and she is delighted to bring her decades of experience in education and communications to this worthy social cause.
