Native Bees: Biology, Bee-havior, & Research
“Save the bees!” Have you heard the rallying cry? But it turns out that honey bees aren’t the only pollinator that helps plants thrive. Southern California is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 700 species of native bees. As urban development marches on, native plant gardens can be a crucial stepping stone for wild bees. Join us as Annika Nabors from the UC Cooperative Extension San Diego, in collaboration with the Tree of Life shares, and updates the results of the study happening in our experimental garden and show-and-tell with specimens of native and introduced insects.
