May 20th is World Bee Day! 🐝

Awareness for these little pollinators is growing as the bee population has declined and face a global extinction. They have an important role in our ecosystems and the food that we eat!

How can you help with the bee population?
- grow native flowering plants that bloom at different times of the year
-avoid pesticides, fungicides or herbicides in our gardens
-buying raw honey from local farmers

These are just a few things we can do to sustain the bee population!

🐝DYK: To produce a kilogram of honey, bees fly the equivalent of three times around the world in air miles

Thank you to Pembina-Manitou Area Foundation Inc. grant for funding some our 2025 projects! Because of their generosity, we were able to upgrade some of our chafing dishes and keep the buffet food hot and delish. As well as some much needed chair organizing and storage. These projects not only help our festival run smooth (and organized) but also help those who host other events in our community!
