5. Interpretive Drop-in: Bees - Sally Manzara Nature Center

Bees! They are a sure sign of spring. They help propagate flower, tree, and plant species, and they make delicious honey! Our nature educators will be on-hand to teach visitors all about bees. The SMINC has outdoor hives that produce plenty of honey every year, and an indoor apiary to show visitors what our bees are up to. This event is free, and part of our drop-in series, so you can come and go as you please. Drop in, learn about bees, then take a hike in Lake Elmo’s Sunfish Lake Park. April 16, 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
