PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Members of the lab greatly enjoy interacting with the community members at various events, teaching about the importance of honey bees and other pollinators. We particularly enjoy working with our junior researchers and beekeepers.
Pollinator Education Program for Kids
Lovingly called PEP, this program is currently designed for third and fourth graders. It is done in association with the UC Davis Bee Haven garden and its conception was supported by a UC Davis Programmatic Initiative grant and funds from Honey and Pollination Center. We are currently in the process of developing curriculum for other K-12 grades. Click to read more about the program.
Public Outreach Events
We are engaged with our community throughout the year and, when the time allows, we provide public outreach at daycare centers, schools, public events such as state fairs or festivals. Click to read about the fun times we have connecting with you!

To ensure that the information to the public is accurate we often collaborate with members of various press outlets to create news articles, books, or educational videos and radio shows. Click here to see the results of our latest collaborations.
