Workshop for Children: Discover Bumblebees and Solitary Bees
The Miran Jarc Library Novo mesto invites children aged 10 and above to a workshop titled Discover Bumblebees and Solitary Bees, which will take place on Thursday, 21 May 2026, at 17:00 in the Story Room.
Did you know that at least 35 species of bumblebees live in Slovenia? Or that there are over 500 species of solitary bees? During the workshop, participants will learn how bumblebees and solitary bees live, why they are important, what threatens them, and how we can help them.
Participants will make nesting boxes for solitary bees to take home, as well as a nesting box for bumblebees, which will be awarded to one lucky participant.
The workshop will be led by Mojca Pibernik and Luka Rifelj from the Bumblebee Society – Slovenian Association for the Protection of Pollinators.
The number of participants is limited; registration is required at the Youth Department or by calling +386 7 39 34 665.
The event will be held in Slovenian.
