Join us to learn about the fascinating world of bees at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. We'll meet at the Discovery Centre and head outside to sit at the log circle. You'll find out about a bee’s life cycle, how important bees are, how to identify different species and what you can do to help them .
Then, using your own home-made bumblebee identification chart, you'll explore the nature reserve looking for bees on a 2 mile walk around the nature reserve.
