IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
Come explore the fascinating world of mason bees and learn how to properly care for them! These powerful pollinators are native to our area and are a fantastic way to learn more about bees. Led by Kristen Penhall, participants of this workshop will learn about the bee lifecycle as well as proper management of mason bee houses, plus take a closer look at specimens with a hand lens or microscope. After our time together, you will leave with your very own mason bee house to take home!
LEADER BIO
Kristen Penhall has been studying bees for over ten years. What started out as an interest in honeybees grew into a passion for all bees. They have taken various bee courses, is an Apprentice Level Master Mellitologist through Oregon State University and through that program is contributing to the B.C. Bee Atlas. When they are not geeking out over bees they can be found climbing, in nature, or hanging out with their dog Charlie.

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”.
