June 6, 10 a.m.-- "Bee" a Plant Pollinator Pal
: Plant milkweed to take home, make a mason bee hive, and sample different kinds of honey. This program involves tasting honey. Please tell staff if your child has any allergies or health issues during registration.

Space is limited, so please register in advance for both programs together via the 4-H website by Sunday, June 4 (button below).
