Bumblebees

Join Master Gardeners to learn about Bumblebees & how these fuzzy non-aggressive creatures are critical for pollination of crops & flowers.
Bumblebees are the Teddy Bears of the insect world. These fuzzy non-aggressive creatures are critical for pollination of many crops and flowers. Unfortunately their population has steadily declined due to loss of habitat, unwise use of pesticides, climate change, and disease. Come learn about the bees and what you can do to help their survival.
