Join Tūhura Otago Museum and The Entomological Society of NZ for a Backyard Biodiversity Workshop!

September 2023 is Bee Aware Month, and we will be holding workshops to educate on how to promote biodiversity, live more sustainably, and help bees and other important pollinators in your backyard. There will be fun games, gardening tips, and scientists on hand to answer your questions. Play our "Is It A Bee?" game, dig through leaf litter for bugs, visit the bee-feeding station, or get a face painted with your own little critter (11-2)- there are plenty of free activities to keep the whole family entertained and informed on backyard biodiversity!
