Wherefore art thou? | This summer, the Saint Louis Zoo is partnering with the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival for a wildly fun, original production! Romeo & Zooliet is a family-friendly stage adaptation, featuring dazzling life-size animal puppetry. The new show will explore what would happen if Saint Louis Zoo animals put on their own Shakespearean performance after keepers go home for the night. For tickets and more information, visit stlzoo.org/shakespeare.

With spring comes the buzzing of honey bees. Keep your eyes out for groups of bees in the air or on branches—those are healthy swarms looking for a new home. To help them, just visit moswarms.org to connect with local beekeepers who can help the swarm relocate.
