Create a Condo for Native Bees
Sat., March 3 / 10am / Ed. Ctr. #1
Tucson is a hotspot of bee biodiversity. Of the hundreds of species that live here, several use tunnels in wood as safe havens for their young. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn why native bees are important and how to make nesting habitat for them. Greg Corman, a Tucson artist and landscape designer, will show you how to create an attractive and effective habitat for solitary, and essentially stingless, native leafcutter, mason, and resin bees. You will go home with a small bee habitat ready to hang in your garden.

He’s now here to help you assess your own landscape and offer examples of creative approaches to the outside life.
