Did you know that Washington state has over 600 native bee species? Caleb Lankford, volunteer coordinator for the Washington Bee Atlas, discusses what this diversity looks like in the Yakima Valley's shrub-steppe ecosystem and why bee diversity matters during the Yakima Valley College-Cowiche Canyon Conversancy Winter Talk Series. Lankford will also share how citizen volunteers are supporting native bee populations via the Washington Bee Atlas and how the program has made exciting discoveries, including several new state and county records of rare bees. Formerly a high school science teacher in Greenville, Miss., Lankford now lives in Yakima and works for the Washington State Department of Agriculture.
