South Dakota Discovery Center Opening New Bee Exhibit Saturday

PIERRE — An exhibit opening this weekend at the South Dakota Discovery Center in Pierre has the Center buzzing with excitement. Executive Director Dr. Rhea Waldman says a new observation hive was a part of the planning around a tree house structure recently added to the Discovery Center…

As the worldwide decline of pollinators like bees are a concern, the exhibit looks to educate about their importance…

The hive is connected to a tube in the wall that allows the bees to go outside to collect pollen, but the exhibit inside will allow visitors to safely observe things not seen normally that are inside the hive…

An opening ceremony for the exhibit starts at two-pm on Saturday May 20th, which happens to be World Bee Day.
