Sunday, April 12
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST
Join us on an early spring hike as we search for important early-flying native bees and other pollinators like flies. We will start at the nature center to view our bee collection (do you know how many species are found in Ohio?) and a three-dimensional model bumble bee nest. On our hike, we’ll look for bees, chat about their habitat needs, and look for floral resources for these mighty pollinators.
