What’s the buzz around Sheridan?

Learn about honeybees with Sheridan alum and owner of Teddy Bee Honey, Ted Parkes. In this session, we will expand your knowledge and feed your interest in bees as we talk about pollination and the important role bees play in our environment. We will also show you Sheridan’s new beehives located on campus, and venture inside a hive to look at the bees and the honey in it. We might even spot the queen! We will also have a live Q&A with Ted, where you can ask him all your buzzing questions about bees.
