 Billings Farm & Museum celebrates Pollinator Week online

May 4–8 — WOODSTOCK—Spring is here and our friends, the pollinators, are too! Join Billings Farm at Home online as they celebrate Pollinator Week, May 4 – 8, 2020. Learn about native pollinators and the vital role they play in our food supply.

Where would we “bee” without our pollinators? On Wednesday, May 6, at 1 p.m., get your pollinator questions answered by museum educators as they host their Facebook Live series, “Ask Billings Farm Live.” What do you want to know about pollinators? What can you do to support bees, bats, butterflies and birds?

Visit Billings Farm at Home all week for videos, kid-friendly activities, recipes and pollinator information. Did you know bees need water too? Learn how to make a simple bee bath for your garden. What did it take for Billings Farm to be certified as a “bee-friendly” farm? Find out! Make a “fairy garden” and a yarn-wrapped bee craft.

Love bees, but don’t have kids? Even if you do, enjoy our Pollinator Happy Hour with daily recipes using pollinator-generated ingredients for cocktails, mocktails as well as herbal teas to make and enjoy at home.

Make Billings Farm at Home your online resource for bringing the farm, history, and events home. Find fun crafts and delicious farm recipes to make, and activities to download and do at home. Meet the animals and learn about life on the dairy farm through their online videos. Connect with them at: billingsfarm.org/billings-farm-at-home, Facebook: facebook.com/BillingsFarmMuseum, and Instagram: @BillingsFarmMuseum.
