LAKESHORE LIBRARY EVENTS:
Friday, June 24th, 2:30 P.M.
This documentary follows acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn, trapped at home during the Covid-19 lockdown, as he turned his camera on the bees in his garden in Bristol, England. Dohrn eventually filmed more than 60 species of bees in his own backyard, learned to identify individuals just by looking at them, and captured never-before-seen bee behavior on film. Attendees will receive regional wildflower seed packets and bee ID cards as part of the #PlantWildflowers campaign, which aims to help audiences across the country better understand and appreciate the role bees and other pollinators play in healthy ecosystems. The program is free and all are welcome. Please call 325-379-1174 or email lakeshore.library@gmail.com to let us know you are coming.
