Native Plant Speaker Series

Description

As gardeners, we have an opportunity to support native bee populations by providing natural habitats for ground, cavity, or stem nesting native bees that go well beyond flowers for adults.   Join our speaker, Kris Ethington, Washington Native Bee Society member, ecological gardener, and local citizen scientist who has valuable insights based on her research and observational experience in the Olympic Peninsula. She will share her 3-year wild bee survey data from iNaturalist.org, providing a basis for understanding local bee populations, ground nesting behaviors, and plant/pollinator interactions in the wild and the garden - including direct observations from the Kul Kah Han Native Plant Garden.
