The Wild Bee Festival is an annual event coordinated by the National Biodiversity Data Centre, aiming to raise awareness of Ireland’s pollinators and how to help them in local communities.
The 2025 festival will feature a series of walks and talks led by biodiversity experts and community groups on pollinators and the simple actions we can take to help them. Talks will include: ‘How Communities can Help Pollinators’, ‘Collecting Wildflower Seeds’, and guided walks of biodiversity areas led by Abbeyleix Tidy Towns.
