Bee Campus (Microgrant)

Project Description

This project is proposing a bee-hive building workshop at the pollinatarium for both students and community members, as well as an arts and crafts fair for the children in the area. The goal is to teach the students and community members about the native pollinators and how important they are for our area.  Pollinators are in a decline at the moment and there are only a few areas on or near campus that they can thrive. Creating this workshop will teach students about the importance of having pollinators on campus.

The pollinatarium will have a stake in this project by hosting the workshop. The community members and students who join us will have a stake by learning more about the pollinators in the area and why they are so important to campus. From the Ground Up, a restoration RSO on campus, will be collaborating and working with Bee Campus on this project. The students that are involved with this project will get hands-on experience regarding how to create homes for the pollinators in the area and learn about the importance of pollinators and how they affect the lives of everyone on campus. They will be both building and teaching the community members about this importance.
