Family Day: Buzzing Bees
Saturday, Sept 10, 2022
10 am - 2 pm
We're celebrating National Honey Month!
This un-bee-leavable Family Day is dedicated to our favorite little pollinators. Learn how bees take nectar and make it into honey, explore the world of beekeeping, and find out how to make your garden more pollinator friendly! We?ll have games, crafts, educational talks, and local partners ready to get you buzzing about bees.
Family Days are generously sponsored by Scheels in Johnstown, CO. Thanks to their support, these events are always free and open to everyone!

Moccasins were worn by the Native people of the Great Plains for thousands of years before European people entered the continent, and were quickly adopted by French trappers, mountain men, and even some of the immigrants on the Oregon Trail. These contemporary Native moccasins are from our teaching collection and showcase hand-sewn beadwork.??
The Wyoming State Museum uses artifacts like these to teach more than 13,000 students a year through our award-winning Field Trips and Education Trunks! Our Field Trips are offered 100% free of charge to any school in the world and can be taught at the museum or over the internet, as a Virtual Field Trip.?
