Bee Keeper

Our beekeeper, Arlie Rauch, came and shared information about his experience as a beekeeper. He brought some of the tools of the trade with him to show to everyone. In addition, he came in his beekeeper garb and expained why a beekeeper has to have a costume that protects him from his bees. Thank you Arlie, for buzzin' over and telling us all about bees!!!

"The Bug Hunt"

20 kids and a few Moms enjoyed an hour at the Glendive Public Library "collecting" bugs and putting them into their green slime bug jars. All collectors recorded their findings in their Bug Journals. More "Bug" activities will be on July 17, 24, 31st and August 7, at 10:30-11:30 in the Basement of the Public Library. All ages are welcome to attend!
