IN-PERSON PROGRAM

When you think of a bee, chances are you imagine the European honeybee. But what about our native pollinators? Here in BC, we have over 400 species of native bees! Come along for this buzzing outing to learn about their life cycles and ecology — from large fuzzy bumble bees to charming leaf-cutter bees to tiny bees less than 5 mm long!

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 sting allergy please exercise caution. If you have any questions or input about accessibility, please email publiced@stanleyparkecology.ca          

This program will meet at the Nature House on Lost Lagoon (underneath the viewing platform at Chilco and Alberni St) and proceed around Lost Lagoon Loop either towards Ceperley Meadow or towards the Rose Garden, depending on the flowers! (1) (2) (3) (4)

We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and help steward is the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
