Pollinator Party: A celebration of bees. Take pollinators under your wing.

Join the University of Minnesota Bee Lab and Minneapolis Parks are Recreation to celebrate the bees AND the birds with a variety of interactive exhibits, art activities, and music at this FREE event.

Pollinators have many impacts. One is providing food for birds either directly by being eaten by them, or indirectly by pollinating plants that birds rely on for food.

Learn more about how bees and birds impact our world and what steps you can take to help them thrive. Visit exhibitors to learn more about helping pollinators and earn a free honey ice cream cone.
