The Lovely Month of June Or in other words, The Era of Wildflowers and Honey Bees! Which, I do agree, makes for a long moniker but quite befitting June. Oh, how difficult it must be for the busy little bees to decide which color they are going to land on next when they are presented with a plethora of choices! Resplendent shades of pinks and purples, bril- liant hues of yellows and blues, all challenging the bees to pick their favorite in a dizzying dance of chaos! The very thought of a field full of spring wildflowers brings a glorious challenge to my lazy, winter worn feet. Driven by a deep desire to catch a glimpse of colors that are impossible to du- plicate any other season, I literally itch to hit the trails that will lead me and my eyes to rest on these delightful little marvels of spring. So I propose that we take a wildflower jaunt! Tuesday June 18, 2024 at 12:30 We will meet at the Center at 12:25 and head out to the meadow at History Rock Trailhead up Hyalite Canyon. Call or stop by with questions and to sign up. Space is limited!

The reason bees are so noisy is because they beat their wings 11,400 times in one minute! 2. Only female bees can sting. Male bees don’t have stingers. 3. Honey bees communicate through a series of dance moves. 4. A hive of bees will fly over 55,000 miles to make 1lb of honey and can create 100lbs of honey in a year. 5. Bees can sense the hormone a human gives off when they’re scared. If they feel their hive is threatened they’ll attack. 6. The Honey Bee is the only insect that makes food people can eat. 7. Each Honey Bee from the same hive has their own specific color identification. 8. Eating honey can make you smarter! It has an antioxidant that improves brain functions. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Mark Twain In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
