IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Ever wondered about the fuzzy, chunky bees flying around in the summer? Or maybe you’ve spotted a big bumblebee and thought, “that’s the largest bee I’ve ever seen!” Join us to celebrate Pollinator Month and learn all about the fascinating and diverse world of bumblebees and bee-yond! With over 150 species of native bee in our region, and in diverse colours from orange to blue to green, there’s a lot to appreciate. We’ll even get up-close with a few bee specimens (and possibly some live bees temporarily caught and viewed safely!) to really see what the native pollinators are all about.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Accessibility notes: This program will take place on some uneven surfaces on mostly gravel pathways. It is unlikely that we will be interacting with bees to the point where there is risk of stinging, but if you have a bee/wasp sting allergy please exercise caution. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca
Location: This program will meet at the Nature House on Lost Lagoon (located near the intersection of Alberni and Chilco Street, underneath the viewing platform) and proceed around Lost Lagoon Loop either towards Ceperley Meadow or towards the Rose Garden, depending on the flowers! Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to sign in.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
