It’s #nationalhoneybeeday! If you see a bee today, tip your hat and thank it for the bounty! Honey bees are not native to North American but have become an important part of our agricultural industry. It’s also important that we do what we can to protect our native bee species.
If you want to learn more, mark your calendar for September 25 and join us for Bee Conservation: Challenges and Opportunities. Dr. Jim Cane, emeritus Research Entomologist with the USDA Bee Lab in Logan, Utah, will dive into floral use, pollination biology and nesting ecologies of diverse native bees in crops and wildlands, all to help you be a successful gardener for native bees, as well as a better-informed advocate for their conservation on wildlands.
