the 'bee' pack

"It's the little things that run the world."
- Edward O. Wilson


There is an urgent need for educating our students and communities about the importance of our native pollinators. With the collapse of honey bee colonies around the world, solitary bees and other native pollinators have become
​vital to the survival of our food crops and ecosystems.

Bee Inspired Community Pollinator Habitat Kit

You will find the kit to be a hive buzzing with information and resources to help you get started on your pollinator habitat restoration project. You project can be as small as a few pots filled with native flowers or as big as a wildflower meadow with mason bee houses, hotels, and beyond - that part is up to you. All are important. All will make a difference. 

More than anything, we want this kit to inspire its users to "leave no child inside", create lasting personal outdoor memories, get people working together, and maybe, amidst all the learning and laughter, help save the world! 

Pollinator Habitat Kit includes:

  • Inspiring IMAX pollinator video and teacher's guide: Wings of Life
  • Pollinator and pollination themed books, activities, and games
  • Pollinator models and educational props
  • How to build a Mason Bee house and "Bee Hotel" instructions
  • Pollinator and plant ID picture charts/posters/pamphlets
  • Important links to supportive information and more! 

THE BEE KIT IS AVAILABLE AT THE SQUAMISH, WHISTLER, AND PEMBERTON PUBLIC LIBRARY.
