ICT Bee Fest 2026

Save the date for our third annual ICT Bee Fest. Over 800 visitors enjoyed this free celebration of native bees, butterflies, and other wild pollinators last year, and we’re thrilled to be back for another season of celebrating wild bees. Hosted by our partners at the Mid-America All-Indian Museum and the Bee City Wichita Committee, the 2026 event planning is already underway. Stay tuned for more details as the date approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Bumblebee Petting Zoo safe?

Yes! The Eastern Bumblebees at ICT Bee Fest are 100% male bumblebees, which do not have stingers. Only female bees have stingers! Our supplier hand-selects the male bumblebees for us, and after the event the boys live out the rest of their short lives providing pollination work to the Riverside Community Garden by Botanica. A huge thank you to Koppert, our bumblebee supplier. Although Koppert has ceased production of research and education hives, management has carved out a personal exception for us and is continuing to provide bumblebees to ICT Bee Fest out of support for our educational work.
