Native Specialist Bees

Instructor: Heather Holm, biologist, pollinator conservationist and award-winning author

The monarch butterfly is probably the most famous insect specialist feeding only on milkweed, but did you know that many native bees are also specialists? Studying these native plant-bee specializations and their overlapping habitat requirements will help your garden support more pollinators. Threats such as habitat loss and climate change will also be covered.

**Live Zoom lecture with audience Q&A. Recordings will be made available to students.
