While trees provide many well-known ecological benefits, the importance of trees as a source of food for bees is sometimes overlooked.

Bees and flowering plants have a critical relationship. Flowering plants provide nectar and pollen for a bee’s diet. Pollen is an essential source of protein for developing bee larvae, and nectar provides a carbohydrate source. Bees, in turn, transport pollen from flower to flower as they forage, allowing for plant fertilization and the production of seeds and fruit.

Join us for a virtual program that will discuss this important relationship and what it means for your woods on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.

Our featured speakers is Denise Ellsworth, Program Director, Pollinator Education, Department of Entomology, The Ohio State University.

Registration is required for this free online presentation. You can REGISTER HERE.
