5% Day for the Junior Bee Club
Tuesday, September 18th
12:00 AM
PST, Free

 

Four times a year Whole Foods hold Community Giving Days (otherwise known as “5% Days”) where five percent of that day’s net sales are donated to a local nonprofit or educational organization. The groups that benefit from these 5% Days are as varied as the communities themselves.

 

This 5% day will help establish the first Bee Club in any DC School. The Junior Bee Club will establish bee and hive education, environmental and garden education and life science education.  This is a wonderful opportunity to observe a unique and fascinating life cycle in the insect kingdom, and to study the ways in which bees protect the plant life around us.

 

A major supporter and implementer to the Junior Bee Club is Jeff Miller of the Dc Honeybees The equipment and bees are provided at my cost, as is the feed.   Management covers replacement bees in the event the colony dies off or succumbs to winter

 

The students of:

Walker Jones Elementary 100 L St NW, Washington, DC 20001

Horace Mann Elementary 4430 Newark Street NW Washington, DC 20016

Maury Elementary 1250 Constitution Ave. NE Washington, DC 20002

Garrison Elementary 1200 S Street Northwest Washington, DC 20009

All DC Public Schools wish to fully engage their students in the magic of beekeeping this school year. The program will include outfitting each school with new hives, providing field trips to area farms with bees and school visits by local expert beekeepers, and the introduction of Junior Beekeeper Clubs as an after school activity.
