The Buzz about Bees – From Pollination to Honey
DATE: Saturday 5/17/25 TIME: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Will Fitz will present about various species of bees and the important work Fitz & Gentry Farms does in our community and in collaboration with the Gardens. Will Fitz and Tim Gentry have been keeping bees in Tucson, AZ for 7+ years. They met while doing research on honey bee biology at the University of Arizona and the USDA Carl Hayden Bee Lab. Their shared passion for bees led them to start a beekeeping business focusing on local honey production and live honey bee removal services in Tucson and surrounding communities
In celebration of World Bee Day on May 20th, this special day acknowledges the critical role of bees in our ecosystems and economies around the globe.
