What’s yellow, fuzzy, flies and creates sweet treats?

The hardworking honeybees housed here at Carbon County Environmental Education Center.

The center is hosting a Teacher Workshop featuring the importance of pollinators from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 16.

This workshop is a Project Wild workshop. It is open to all educators from kindergarten through 12th grade.

This workshop includes speakers from the center, master gardeners, as well as the center’s very own beekeeper. There’s no better way to learn and grow than to attend one of these workshops.

Workshops held at the center are fun, rewarding and packed with tons of ideas to inspire teachers and students who want to learn more about the roles of important pollinators in Pennsylvania.

Guest speakers, hands-on activities, curriculum guides, and tons of freebies round out this workshop.
