Boy touching bee display
Bee curious! Attendees of all ages are fascinated watching bees at work in this honeybee display hive. This is one of many displays at the Popo Agie Conservation District’s annual Fremont County Garden Expo. At this particular event, not only did the live bees attract attention, but so did the live-looking plastic lizard on the boy’s t-shirt.
