Come learn about the wonderful world of bees 🐝 … the program is for you and me … and it’s free! See you at the librar-ee!

One week from today - Join entomologist Blake Dinius of the Plymouth County Extension, on Wednesday, June 3 at 6 PM for "Little Bee, Big World" in the Community Room of the Whitman Public Library.

Dinius will discuss how bees live in a big world rife with challenges and constant pressure to survive. Learn how we can best recognize the needs of bees, which plants can we grow to best suit their dietary restrictions, and how we can best treat our gardens and yards to provide suitable environments for them.
