(RE-SCHEDULED FROM MAY 7)

Buzz on over to the Neihardt Center on Sunday, June 4!

Did you know that 70% of our native bees nest in the ground? Or that honey bees are a European species brought to this country with immigrants in the 1600’s? Or that different species of bees have different structures for carrying pollen?

Join Belinda Greiner, Nebraska Master Naturalist and an Ambassador for the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, for a presentation on pollinator conservation and ecology with a special emphasis on the diversity and life cycles of our native bees. Appropriate for all ages - bring your kids, your gardeners, your favorite science teacher!

We will have a sign-up for people who want to volunteer to be on a Neihardt Foundation Gardening Club to help us determine what to plant and help keep the grounds looking nice!

The program is free and open to the public, with a light reception to follow.
