Event Details
We can't forget the other bees! Honeybees are devastated by pesticides, parasites, and diseases, but they are not at risk of extinction. North America's nearly 4,000 native bee species are in peril, however. Unlike honeybees in a hive, 90% of native bees make solitary nests in wood, hollow stems, or underground.
This program is a chance to make your own "bee hotel," where essential pollinators like mason and leafcutter bees can safely nest. Supplies provided. Priority registration for NVPL card holders.
