Join us on for a special Wednesday family play dates with museum educators!
Wednesday, July 31 is about bees! Families can make close observations of select pieces from our collection, learn why bees live together in colonies, and create their own piece of a bee colony!

Image Information: A bumblebee gathers pollen in The People's Garden in Washington, D.C. The yellow-orange area on the bee's hind leg is its pollen basket. Pollen baskets are found on the hind legs of certain species of bees and are used in collecting pollen to return to their hive or nest.
