The Bee-utiful World of Native Bees

Most people think of the European honey bee when asked about Georgia pollinators. However, there is an entire world of native bees that are amazing pollinators. Join this class to learn bee identification and biology, examine insects up-close using microscopy, go on an insect hunt in the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center’s ethnobotanical gardens and create sustainable bee homes for you to place in your garden. We be(e)lieve we can make you fall in love with our native bees! Please note that this class is part of a new program and is located outside of the Athens area.
