BEES: A Story of Survival

Toronto families can add a little extra buzz to their spring plans with “BEES: A Story of Survival,” opening May 16, 2026, at the Royal Ontario Museum. Running through October 18, the immersive exhibition explores bee evolution, anatomy, hive life and the essential role bees play in pollination. With a $9 surcharge, this is an engaging local activity for curious children, nature lovers and anyone looking for an educational day out in the city. Visitors can explore the fascinating world of bees while gaining a deeper appreciation for the ecosystems that help make our communities healthy and vibrant. The exhibition also highlights why protecting native bee species matters. After your visit, consider planting pollinator-friendly flowers, avoiding unnecessary pesticides and sharing what you learned with neighbours. Small actions can create more welcoming habitats throughout Toronto. Save the date for May 16, invite family and friends, and plan your visit to the ROM.
