Vermont Bee Lab

Join us for the third Pollinator Celebration Day on June 6th at Shelburne Farms! The Vermont Pollinator Working Group presents a celebration of all-things pollinators for learners of all ages! From managed honey bees to the 350 species of native bees in Vermont, we will learn from experts about their extraordinary diversity and importance!

Discover how you can support pollinators in your community and backyard. Hear from our keynote speaker and lighting presenters and join us for workshops (registration required). Meet the organizations working together to tackle urgent threats to bees and other pollinators in the Northeast, and visit local native plant suppliers.
