2026 Spring Show: Bees!

Bees!
Milwaukee County Parks has spent years documenting something extraordinary — our urban park system has become one of the most important strongholds for native bee populations in the state. Tucked between farmland and freeways, 10,000+ acres of natural areas offer something increasingly rare: refuge.
And the bees have repaid us in full.
But here’s what many people don’t realize — the conservation story doesn’t stop at the park’s edge. Every bloom in Milwaukee County is part of something bigger.
And this spring, that story has a home at the Domes. BEES! highlights several types of native Wisconsin bees in a landscape fit for a bumblebee’s playground — surrounded by hydrangeas, spring bulbs, and eight one-of-a-kind sculptures made from recycled metal.
Discover the vital role these incredible pollinators play in our gardens, ecosystems, and lives. Beauty is in the eye of the BEE-holder.
April 4 – May 25, 2026.
* There are no live bees in the Domes.
