In honor of #PollinatorWeek, we'd like to tell you about the upcoming BeeBlitz at the Pollinatarium, located at 606 W. Windsor Rd., Urbana!
 
FROM BEESPOTTER.ORG AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS:
 
Join us at the Pollinatarium on July 3, from 9 to 11 a.m. to celebrate another National Pollinator Week. The University of Illinois Pollinatarium is the first free-standing science center in the nation devoted to flowering plants and their pollinators. It's surrounded by prairie, so it's the perfect place to spot some bees! Please note: the Pollinatarium building is closed until August, so this will be an outdoor event.
