Bumblebee Jamboree (BBJ) has been metro Richmond’s premier pollinator event for over ten years, hosted by the Chesterfield Extension Master Gardeners and Virginia Cooperative Extension.

At the jamboree, children have the opportunity to learn about and understand the importance of bees, butterflies, birds, beetles and bats as they enjoy pollinator-related crafts and games, as well as other engaging activities. Adults learn ways to encourage pollinators in their own backyards.
