SUMMARY:Garden University: Native Bee Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Decorate a native bee house and start your own mason bee colony! \nAs requested\, Heather Andrews is returning back to The Oregon Garden to help you along your bee journey! Join us for a fun-filled family friendly workshop on Saturday March 28th from 11am-1pm at the Oregon Gardens where we’ll learn all about native bees. These insects play essential roles in maintaining a balanced ecosystem\, and are important for pollinating all kinds of plants. But did you know that we have over 4\,000 native bees right here in North America\, and that many species nest in the ground or plant stems? \nWe’ll start out the class with a lesson on the different types of native bees here in the Willamette Valley\, and the various kinds of habitat they need. Then we will decorate mason bee houses. Students will also receive several mason bee cocoons to start their own colony\, seed packets to plant native flowers in their yard\, plenty of information on native bees\, and a poster with the different native bees found right here in Oregon. \n__ \nMembers: $35 | General: $45 \nClick HERE to Purchase Tickets \nLimited spaces available** \n__ \nAbout the instructor: Heather Andrews is a research entomologist at Oregon State University. She works at a university extension office in Aurora where she studies growing practices in orchard crops that minimize their negative impact on the environment while maximizing yield. In her free time she makes jewelry\, draws and also plays the harp.
