DON'T MISS THESE EVENTS! 
What's all the Buzz? We're hosting Cathy Wolko, Beekeeper and Owner of the Humble Bee Honey Company for two entertaining and educational programs! She's bringing her observation hive so we can see bees at work and learn about their importance. Two lucky attendees will bring home monarch butterfly hatching kits. We'll also sample some special honey harvested in New England as we learn the history of honey. Be sure to read the program descriptions on our calendar and sign up!
