The Canadian Agriculture Museum in Ottawa announces a new exhibit to celebrate and educate the public about honey bees and beekeeping in Canada.
Taking Care of Beesness opens March 1st, 2010 — just in time to welcome March break visitors to the nation’s capital, if you’re heading that way — and it runs until October 2010.
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 in May and try to find the queen among all the workers and drones.
Not travelling to Ottawa?
You can still enjoy Bees, a Honey of an Idea, a new interactive “virtual” exhibit about bees, pollination, and apiculture presented by the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC) and the Canadian Agriculture Museum.
Don’t miss the Hive Inspection Video, yummy honey recipes, and some great activities for school teachers, parents, and students of all ages… and maybe the rest of us, too!
