What superhero can carry 122 times her own weight, fly 5 million miles on a gallon of honey and see ultraviolet colors invisible to us? Yes! The Mighty Bee!
Bees can buzz along at 15 mph and beat their wings 200 times per second. What do bees do with their superpowers? They help provide the world with flowers, fruit, and even chocolate! One in three bites of food we eat is thanks to these pollinators! And don’t forget honey. To make a pound of honey, bees must fly 55,000 miles and visit around 2 million flowers.
Join Lisa Maggio of the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center (BEEC) on Tuesday, July 7th from 2:00-4:00 to learn more about the super powers of pollinators and to build a pollinator home at the Brooks Memorial Library. Come up to the third floor Meeting Room for a free event at the library. Please call the Children’s Room at (802)-254-5290 x110 or email cr@brookslibraryvt.org to preregister for the event.
