The honeybee is a fascinating insect that serves as an important pollinator for many of the foods we eat and the plants and flowers we enjoy.  The honeybee lives a complex social life and, we are learning, is capable of complex communication and  learning.  The honeybee, however, is not the only important pollinator.  Join this session to learn about bees, life within a honeybee colony, some  beekeeping basics, and how to support other pollinators.
