Bee Talk at MNA

MNA’s Science Cafe

Wednesday, December 12th., 7-830pm  FREE! The Buzz on Native Bees Dr. Kristen Potter, insect physiologist and MNA volunteer Our approximately 4000 native bee species come in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and colors. These efficient bees are typically non-aggressive and have pollinated our continent’s flowering plants since long before the arrival of honey bees. Unfortunately, our native bee species are declining, but there are many ways we can help them. We will discuss the importance of native bees in our ecosystems, identify simple (and fun) ways you can help native bees, and learn how they will improve the health of your yard and garden. Join us for a short presentation followed by lively discussion and Q&A.
