SUMMARY:Native Bee Walk
DESCRIPTION:Saturday Sat. August 1st\, 2026 | 10am\nChoose Your Price: $30 – $15\nMost people walk past a field of flowers and see flowers. John Kotab walks past the same field and sees the bees who are thriving in them. \nJoin John\, a local bee expert and author of Bee the Change: If We Protect\, Nature Will Provide\, for a native bee walk at Winding Stair Gardens. \nThe class opens with a short lecture covering the basics: how to tell a bee from a wasp from a fly\, and what to notice first in size\, color\, and movement. Then everyone heads into the field together\, twice\, with a regrouping in between to go a layer deeper into individual bee genera. If conditions cooperate\, John will net a few bees and pass them around in an observation box for a closer look. \nNo two walks cover the same ground. The species change with the season and the week\, and the conversation follows whatever shows up that day. \nNo experience needed. Wear closed-toe shoes\, bring your curiosity\, and plan to look more closely at things than you usually do. \nJohn Kotab is a nature expert based in Western North Carolina with a deep focus on pollinator protection. He’s the author of “Bee the Change: If We Protect\, Nature Will Provide\,” a research novel about the what and why of pollinator protection set to the pace of a bicycle tour\, weaving travel narrative with interviews on how to heal bee populations and restore their habitats. \nPurchase your ticket at our new\, secure online portal here!
