UC Davis Haven: Bee-Witching and Boo-Utiful

The UC Davis Bee Haven's first-ever Halloween party proved to be both bee-witching and boo-utiul.

The free and family-friendly event drew dozens of children, students and adults dressed in costumes ranging from witches and wizards to bees and butterflies. They came to celebrate Halloween and learn about pollinators.
