ROSSLAND REAL FOOD: Big bees, little bees, let’s help the bees…

Entomologist Lynn Westcott is coming back to Rossland for another round of talks and demonstrations about native bees. On April 12, she’ll lead a workshop on the biology, ecology and habitat needs of native bees. Part of this workshop will be similar to what Lynn covered in last year’s workshop, in that she will describe the biology and ecology of locally occurring native bees, and discuss the important roles they play in natural, urban and agricultural areas.
