Exploring the hive at Long Island Children's Museum

On August 15, National Honey Bee Day, the Long Island Children’s Museum will spotlight honey bees, inviting families to learn about these vital pollinators. Since 2012, the museum has housed over 20,000 honey bees in its Feast for Beasts exhibit, which features an observation hive. This annual event, originally called “Honey Hoopla,” has grown in popularity, allowing visitors to witness honey harvesting and observe bee behavior through a protected viewing area.
