Sara Carmody joined Action News Now at noon to talk about bees and Oroville’s Bolt Antique Tool Museum.

The public is invited to enjoy a Bee-themed family-friendly talk and DIY activity at the Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum located at 1650 Broderick Street in Oroville on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 11 a.m.

It is $4 for adults and kids 12 and under get in for free.

People can join beekeeper, anthropologist, and museum docent Sara Carmody for a fun and family-friendly exploration of the life of bees! Sara has traveled to Southeast Asia to study bees and is currently training to become a master beekeeper. Learn about bees and the tools of beekeepers, and then build a "Bee Hotel" for native bees that are essential pollinators that can pollinate up to three times more than a honeybee.

The Bee Hotels will be made from bamboo and can attract native bees that are docile and solitary. The hotels could attract miner bees, leafcutter bees, and mason bees that use the hotel to lay their eggs.
