🐝 Happy National Honey Bee Day!

"Bee" Engaged! Did you know honey bees and other pollinators play a vital role in keeping Idaho's wildflowers blooming and our ecosystems thriving? From colorful meadows to mountain valleys, Idaho State Parks provide important habitat for these hardworking pollinators.
When you visit your favorite park, you can help protect bees by:
🌸 Admiring wildflowers without picking them.
🐝 Giving pollinators plenty of space as they go about their important work.
Every flower visited and every pollinator protected helps keep Idaho's parks beautiful for generations to come.
