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 bees that are amazing pollinators. Join this class to learn bee identification and biology, learn about how you can make your own garden more bee-friendly, go on an insect hunt in the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center’s ethnobotanical gardens, and finish the day with a honey tasting. We be(e)lieve we can make you fall in love with our native bees! Please note that this class is located outside of the Athens area.

This class is an elective for the Certificate in Native Plants.
