Eagle candidate Ben Hallee of Troop 24 in Weare has chosen to design and build a “Bee Hotel” for Mason Bees in the Weare Public Library’s pollinator garden. This hotel provides the perfect environment for the solitary and docile bees to build their homes with mud like masons do. The hotel is both a conservation and educational addition to the library. To learn more about scouting, contact wearetroop24@gmail.com
