Maryland's Native Bees

There are roughly 450 bee species in Maryland. Their numbers and ranges are driven by their deep and often very specialized relationships with flowering plants. In this Earth Optimism webinar, biologist Sam Droege of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center will decode some of the patterns to those relationships, and how they shape where, when and how abundant bees are in the wild. Sam will also share some of the latest discoveries about these critical pollinators, and offer suggestions for how you can support them in your backyard. This is an on-line event.
