Honeybees, both locally and nationally have been suffering catastrophic losses. This program will review honeybee biology and the factors responsible for this problem. In addition, we will review the state of wild pollinators like bumble bees and the things residents can do to help them. Many of the fruits and vegetables we eat require pollination. The current situation with murder hornet in the US will be discussed.

Join us as we welcome back our friend, Larry Dapsis, for another enlightening talk about the insects in our world!

This will be a virtual program, held on Zoom. Register here to attend!
