As part of Manitoba Honey Bee Day on May 29, Brandon University will be holding events all day open to the public.
Honey tasting, educational booths, areas to observe the hives and a beekeeper Q&A are all part of the agenda.
The university will also be hosting school trips for the event.
Grant Hamilton, director of marketing and communications at Brandon University, helps BU English professor Deanna Smid give students in Lisa Puhach's Grade 2 class at Reston School a tour of the Bee U Project beehives over Zoom at the university on Tuesday. Hamilton and Smid are the co-organizers of the Bee U Project. Students got to ask Dr. Smid questions about bees and the project. (Tim Smith/The Brandon Sun)
Manitoba Honey Bee Day organizers hope to educate Manitobans about pollinator habitat and the role of honeybees in agriculture.
Honeybees, as well as wild bees, are very active in the Wheat City in the spring, collecting nectar and pollen from many of the flowering trees and bushes.
