"No Place Like Home: Nesting Needs of Native Bees" 🐝
Did you know that there are over 400 species of native bees in the state of TN?
Join us for this month's talk by Dr. Laura Russo, Associate Professor from University of TN and pollinator ecology expert as she explores the different nesting life histories of native bees, including what we do and don't know about how to supplement their nesting habitat.
Native bees are quiet powerhouses of our ecosystems, yet many struggle to find safe places to nest, largely due to the drastic decline of natural habitats. Learn how different materials, designs, and placements influence bee success, what we've learned works and doesn't work that landowners, gardeners, and communities can create better nesting opportunities to help native pollinators thrive.
Come grab a drink, connect with fellow nature-lovers, and learn how you can get involved in helping native bees!
Conservation on Tap is a speaker series held every third Wednesday at Schulz Bräu Brewing Company and is hosted by Discover Life in America—science partner of Great Smoky Mountains National Park since 1998.🍻🐝🌿
