Talk: Bees
Discover the buzzing diversity of Door County’s bees with a special presentation by the Door County Beekeepers Club and explore the incredible diversity of bees that call our region home.
From tiny, metallic sweat bees ✨ to fuzzy bumble bees 🐝—and even the familiar (but non‑native) honey bee 🍯—you’ll learn how these pollinators differ, why they matter, and how each plays a vital role in our local ecosystems.
🌿 What you’ll learn:
• The unique nesting habits and behaviors of native vs. non‑native bees
• Seasonal rhythms of bees in Door County
• Simple ways you can help support pollinators through gardening and habitat protection 🌻
📽 Secrets of the Bees — Explorer Bertie Gregory reveals the hidden world of bees, their surprising intelligence, and their critical role in pollinating the food we eat.
Whether you’re a backyard gardener 🌱, a nature enthusiast 🦋, or just curious about the busy pollinators around you, this program is a wonderful way to deepen your appreciation for the bees that keep Door County blooming! 🌸
