The life cycles\, diversity\, and nesting habitat of native bees will also be covered along with examples of native plants for different site conditions.  \nThis program is free and open to the public. Following the lecture\, refreshments made from insect pollinated foods will be served.  \nSpecial Event – Limited Availability\nBefore the lecture\, at 4:00pm Holms will offer a Pollinator Walk at Crossroads.
