On February 19, from 1:00pm-2:30pm, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Wildlife Biologist Sam Droege will teach a course on Planting for Native Bees at Adkins Arboretum.
More than 75 percent of flowering plants rely on pollinators, but pollinator populations are in decline in North America. Without them, the ability of agricultural crops and wild plants to produce food products and seeds is jeopardized. Learn why “bees are not optional,” identify native bees, manage your landscape and lawn for them, and choose a variety of plants to attract native bee species.
Registration required. Fee: $15 members, $20 general public
