Get the Buzz on Bees and pollination, to celebrate Earth Month!

To celebrate International Pollinator Month, Bob Wildfong will be our guide to the hidden world of pollinating insects. Crucial for up to 3/4 of food plant species, and an essential part of nearly every ecosystem on Earth (except underwater and Antarctic), pollinators need help as their numbers are drastically declining. Fortunately, there are local initiatives and simple home-based actions that can restore their heath and well-being.

Bob will discuss domesticated and native pollinating insects in general, as well as provide an overview of how people can help make their properties more beneficial for pollinators.
