Albuquerque, NM— Imagine how bleak our diets would be without apples, melons, berries, carrots, broccoli, almonds, coffee, chocolate, and, dare I say it, chile. These foods and many other foods that nourish and comfort us depend on pollinating animals to reproduce, such as bees and wasps, flies, butterflies and moths, and beetles. But pollinators are threatened. Dramatic declines of pollinator species are being documented world-wide. The Sichuan Province of China is one of the world’s largest apple producers and they manage this by pollinating every flower by hand -- by human hand. The heavy use of pesticides and heribicides has eliminated the visitation of native pollinators and beekeepers refuse to bring their hives into the toxic environment.
Pesticide assault, loss and degradation of habitat, and the spread of disease and parasites are the primary threats to pollinators. But these threats can be mitigated by sharing information with neighbors and the greater community on how each household can contribute to pollinator conservation.
We're getting the message out to as many people as possible by hosting an afternoon of FREE “bee aware” activities on Saturday, June 23rd from 10:00am – 5:00 pm during National Pollinator Week.
Activities include:
- 10:00 am: BUTTERFLY LIFE CYCLE: Feed a butterfly! Are butterfly wings water resistant? Grow a milkweed plant for Monarch butterflies, and more!
- 11:30 am: POLLINATORS IN THE ‘HOOD: There are hundreds of species of pollinators in New Mexico that assure that the foods we love and the foods wildlife depend on reproduce. How can you help support them?
- 1:00 pm: HONEY HARVEST DEMO & TASTING: How exactly do we get honey out of the hive into the jar? See a live colony up close!
- 1:30 pm: URBAN BEEKEEPING: Les Crowder, well-known New Mexico beekeeper, will discuss natural topbar beekeeping for urban backyards
- 3:00 pm: QUEEN OF THE SUN SCREENING: The bees are disappearing—why? This amazing film, sponsored by Burque Bioneers, explores that question.

The City of Albuquerque is celebrating its annual Spring Clean-ups with the Fourth Annual Recycled Art Fair. Please join us to see how this amazing art form is evolving and becoming a sustainable alternative for “shopping at the mall.” Recycled Art, also known as Upcycle Art, has been of immense diversity in our four years’ experience. There are artists who have used discarded materials for years and achieved wide acclaim but are not known for the source material, those who repurpose into creations that have no resemblance to the original material and those who make us clever, useful objects to make our daily life easier and prettier. This immense diversity led to our decision to divide the show into the Juried Art Exhibit and the Recycled Art Fair with sales booths.
What is the difference between upcycling, re-use, repurposing and recycling? And did you say ART? Join us April 21st and find out more at the Fourth Annual Recycled Art Fair at the Open Space Visitor Center. We will have 30+ Recycled Artists, free composting demos and workshops, educational booths, kids’ creativity centers, workshops on how to create your own recycled art, face painters, food and festivities as well as music. This year we celebrate the Open Space Spring Clean-ups throughout April with a prize for most interesting trash found. You have never had so much fun learning about sustainability!
The Open Space Visitor Center is located at 6500 Coors Blvd. NW between Montaño Rd. and Paseo del Norte at the end of Bosque Meadows Rd. The Center is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM and closed Mondays.
