Kane County is home to eight varieties of bumble bees!

Did you know that Kane County is home to 8 varieties of bumble bees?  Join us for a hike around Rakow’s property as we observe -at a respectful distance- bumble bees busy at work foraging for nectar and pollen.  At the same time, we will also observe many other bees, some native as well as non-native, going about their business of foraging and pollinating. Come learn more about these important pollinators, the bumble bee!

Remember to dress for the weather.
