SUMMARY:It’s a Wasp’s World
DESCRIPTION:Want to know the buzz about wasps? Join us for this event! \n\n\nIt’s a wasp’s world; we just live in it. Wasps have evolved for world domination\, but maybe not in the ways that you’d expect. Join us for a deep dive into their fascinating and sometimes brutal strategies for survival.

You may not overcome your fear of wasps\, but you just might start to appreciate them. \nThis program will include a presentation followed by a craft! Information and activities are suitable for adults and youth ages 8+ \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<
