Take a Walk on the Wild Side: The remarkable wild bees of Oregon (and how to welcome them to your backyard)
Presented by: Andony Melathopoulos, Oregon State University Associate Professor in Pollinator Health Extension in the Department of Horticulture
The number of bees continues to creep up. First, we had a card that said, “500 species”. Then, when no one was looking, we upped the number to 600 species. Now we say “782 species”. The reason for the ever-increasing number are the remarkable counterpart to the Master Gardeners, the Master Melittologists. Take a walk on the wild side with these volunteers as we show you the unbelievably weird bees of the state, the flowers they love and tips on how to welcome this biodiversity into your backyard.
