Native Bees and Natural Habitat Creation
May 31, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Description
Introduction to local, native pollinators found in the area and discuss how to establish and promote effective pollinator habitat. After the talk about pollinators and pollinators gardens, we will be making bamboo native bee nests.
Teacher Bio:
Olivia Bernauer is a Master’s student in the vanEngelsdorp bee lab at the University of Maryland studying the floral preferences of native pollinators. To do this, she works with citizen scientists to identify and observe pollinators on specific plants. Eventually, she will use the observations to create planting recommendations for local pollinator gardens. Olivia did her undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin where her work with pollinators began. She conducted research on bumble bees and their response to fungicide.
