The next Sunday with a Scientist program at the University of Nebraska State Museum will explore insect pollinator conservation. The program, “Buzz about Bees and Pollinator Conservation” is 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. June 22 at Morrill Hall.
Participants will learn about bees, butterflies, moths, beetles and flies, and how to adapt their home and community landscapes to boost populations. Hands-on activities will include bee nest box building and interactive mobile apps including “Pollination to Plate.”
The program is a series of presentations that highlight the work of scientists, while educating children and families on a variety of topics related to science and natural history. Presenters share scientific information in a fun, informal way through demonstrations and activities, or by conducting science on site.
Sunday with a Scientist typically takes place 1:30-4:30 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month.
