American Beekeeping Federation's Kids and Bees Event, Las Vegas

On Friday, January 7, 2020, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, local and visiting elementary-aged kids are welcomed to the South Point Hotel & Convention Center in Las Vegas to participate in the "Kids and Bees" event. This no-charge, educational program has been a featured event during the ABF Conference & Tradeshow for over 20 years and is a don’t-miss opportunity for school groups, home-schooled kids, scouts, and clubs.

Kids and their teachers and parents can expect a room full of hands-on exhibits under the themes “The Art of Beekeeping,” “The Science of Beekeeping,” “The World of Beekeeping” and “The Future of Bees: It’s Up to You!” Learn about the art and science behind beeswax, honey, pollination, ultraviolet bee vision and so much more!

Students will make their way through each station, engaging with beekeepers from around the United States in activities that will harness their senses and imaginations.

If you have a few hours to give, love bees and kids, and are going to be in the Las Vegas area on Jan. 7, we would very much love your help! We are looking for adult volunteers to help us at the hands-on stations between 8:00 AM and 1:00PM . If you are interested in volunteering for this fun event, please contact [email protected] .
