Beefriending Your Local Bees

Mar 16, 2011

On Saturday March 26, UC Hansen Agricultural Center will offer a free educational presentation, titled Beefriending Your Local Bees.

From the Hansen site:

“Scientists estimate that one third of the world's food crops and four-fifths of its flowering plants depend on some form of insect pollination, mainly by bees. Yet honeybees and native bees around the globe are declining in numbers.

Discover the fascinating world of bees, pollination and its impact on eco and agricultural systems, observe collections of native bees and demonstration on how to build native bee nests.”

UCCE’s Anna Howell will be presenting.  While the presentation is free, reservations are required. Details and reservation instructions can be found here.
