Climate change, pesticides and the loss of native plant habitats are among the factors putting the honeybee population at risk of extinction. With one-third of the U.S. diet derived from insect-pollinated plants, the bee community is essential to the survival of humanity. In allegiance with the community gardens of the East Village, which has the largest concentration of community gardens in the country, The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) will host a special event devoted to raising awareness about the significance of bees
7:00pm
With a mix of slide presentations, discussion and demonstration, contributors to “Alpha Bee City” include:
Dr. Amy Berkov, community gardener and tropical ecologist, The City College of New York Biology Department, associate at The American Museum of Natural History and The New York Botanical Garden
Royal King Bee, graffiti artist whose iconic “Bee” signature character is used to raise awareness worldwide about the declining bee population;
Jacqueline Pacheco, fitness, nutrition and honey enthusiast;
Jan Werner, beekeeper from Green Oasis Garden, 8th Street between Avenues C and D.
Admission is free and open to the public. A suggested donation of $5.00 is always appreciated and bee-themed attire is encouraged
Class and dancing with live music every Wednesday ( Except June 4th) from May 7th – June 11th, 6:00pm – 8:30pm
*NOTE: Only June 4th Rescheduled to Friday, June 6th!
