Birds and Bees Paddle

Join Ranger Dan from the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway for a morning kayaking the wild and scenic St. Croix River listening and looking for our feathered friends. Along the way, our bee experts will point out any pollinators we see on flowering plants. Then, join us after the paddle for a box lunch and interactive information at Beez Kneez headquarters in Grantsburg and learn about honey bees with beekeeper Kristy Allen of the Beez Kneez and researcher Dr. Marla Spivak of the UMN Bee Lab.
