Watch: Brooklyn President Joins Kids Dressed As Bees For 'National Pollinator Week'

Adams will sign a pledge committing Brooklyn to help saving monarch butterflies.

COBBLE HILL, BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams will join bumble-bee-apparel-clad second graders at PS 29 John M. Harrigan in Cobble Hill at noon on Thursday for "National Pollinator Week."

Adams will sign a pledge to make Brooklyn the largest city in the country to commit to saving the monarch butterfly. According to Adams' office, that species has declined in population by 90 percent over the last 20 years.

While a press release from Adams' office made it seem like the borough president may be donning a bee costume himself, a spokesman said that it will, indeed, just be the kids in costume.
