Bee Homes
Bee Homes
Bees find themselves gravitating to Madison Square Park to drink nectar from the park’s flowers.
Scattered throughout the park, you’ll find five bee homes that provide a safe place for native bee species to lay their eggs during nesting season. These spaces protect the bee’s delicate eggs from pests, predators, and potentially harmful human interaction. Our team studies the Leafcutter, Mason, and Carpenter bees that utilize the homes to learn how to best care for these important species that pollinate our park.
