Wednesday, June 14, 2023 by Eric Webb
Buzz-worthy news, to be sure: As part of Austin’s affiliation with Bee City USA, locals can celebrate Pollinator Week June 19-25. “Bee City Austin celebrations will include pollinator talks, a night walk and other fun activities for adults and families,” according to a news release from the Parks and Recreation Department and the Austin Public Library. For example, you can mark the grand opening of the Austin Science and Nature Center’s Seed Library. Austin became part of the Bee City USA network in 2022. Bee City USA works to “galvanize communities to sustain and support pollinators, specifically the approximately 3,600 species of bees native to the U.S.,” according to the release.
