Promoting Bee Friendly Yards

What's the Buzz on Bees?

Have you ever wondered ‘What types of bees are found in Maine?’, ‘Why are some bee species in decline?’, ‘What can we do to protect bee populations?’, or ‘Which plants encourage bees into our landscapes?’ Join us for an in-person presentation by Jennifer Lund hosted in partnership with the Camden Public Library, February 18 at 6:30 pm. Jennifer’s talk will focus on understanding basic bee biology, nesting requirements, and foraging behavior to answer these and many other common questions about bees.
