* Need little to no maintenance, such as fertilization, pruning, or replanting.
* Are adapted to the local soil and environment, making them hardy against our cold winters and dry summers.
* Have natural defenses against insects and diseases.
* Improve native pollinator and wildlife habitat for food, shelter, breeding, and nesting.
* Create a sense of place—from your own landscapes to your favorite wild places.
* Enhance biodiversity by restoring our quickly vanishing regional landscapes.

In October, most mason bees have finished their lifecycle and are now adults resting safely inside their cocoons.

Thursday, October 16th at 1:00 PM, Steve Glutting and the Center for Native Plants will be hosting a Community Bee Harvest Gathering!

This will be a hands-on event where you can bring in filled bee nesting material, "bee tubes” Together we will harvest, clean and review the ways we can protect them from mites, predators and environmental factors over the winter.

Cleaning materials will be provided. BYOBT:) Bring in your own Bee Tubes! We will go through the process step-by-step.

Help support our wild bee populations!
