Pollinators serve an important role in our local food web. More
specifically, we need them in order for our fruit trees to produce
bountiful fruit sets! In this hands-on workshop, you will gain a basic
understanding of bee-keeping, learn about the life of bees, how to
construct mason bee habitats, and which plants are favorable for attracting
pollinators. Each participant will get to take home some
pollinator-friendly plant seeds. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided
at the workshop.
