#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Join author, educator and beekeeper Megan Daley for a nature-based storytime with a focus on those most fabulous of pollinators: bees! We’ll learn what the buzz is about bees and why we need to create bee-friendly habitats for Australia’s favourite pollinators. Megan will share some information and images about Australian native bees before reading her picture book The Beehive, illustrated by Max Hamilton. Then we’re going to bee crafty and create a variety of bee-ish artworks. This session is best suited to young people aged 5–12 years and their bee-loving adults.
