The town of Gananoque has a young bee and pollinator advocate named Sam Ryan who is working to make his community "bee friendly". One of his goals is to have everyone living on his street put up a bee hotel in their garden. He's also encouraging everyone to plant bee friendly flowers. Sam asked the Gananoque Public Library if they could help make the town bee friendly. Now the library is helping Sam and his family spread the word! Check out this fantastic video created by Sam and his family to promote how people can help make their world bee friendly.

In this video Lauren Hussey from Brave Bee Honey in Edmonton, Alberta, tells us about how she protects her bee hives for the winter and some interesting facts about what the bees do when they emerge in the spring!
