The Gillette Bee City USA affiliate meets quarterly. Meetings are held in the George Amos Memorial Building. Meeting dates and times will be announced here and meetings are open to the public.

Gillette has been recognized as Wyoming's first Bee City USA affiliate since April 2016. To achieve our goals of raising awareness and enhancing pollinator habitat, the Master Gardener's Pollinator Committee has worked with the city of Gillette to plant the city's first designated pollinator rain garden, encourage Adopt-A-Planter participants to use pollinator-friendly species, maintain the Pollinator Drawer at the Northeast Wyoming Seed Library, and host Gillette Pollinator Day in conjunction with GLEE.
