Taking Care of Beesness at the Canada Agriculture Museum

There’s a new buzz at the Canada Agriculture Museum. Discover the essential role bees play in the pollination of many Canadian food crops such as blueberries and apples, as well as to the production of honey and many other by-products, while you explore the role and the tools of the beekeeper. Check out the Museum’s live hive arriving and try to find the queen among all the workers and drones. Did you know there are many different types of bees, possibly 20,000 species, and there are many differences between them? Some make honey and some don't. Some can sting, while others can't (the Museum’s can!). Come see the bees for yourself, this summer in Ottawa!
