American Horticulture Society Program: Attracting Bees and Beneficial Insects with Native Plants Webinar

americanHortSociety.jpg

The following information was provided to us by the American Horticulture Society:

"Join us as we welcome Heather Holm, biologist, pollinator conservationist, and AHS award-winning author. In addition to assisting with native bee research projects, she informs and educates audiences nationwide, through her writing and many presentations, about the fascinating world of native pollinators and beneficial insects, and the native plant communities that support them. Most insects have a positive impact on our landscapes. 

Native plants can be selected to attract specific bees and beneficial insects including predatory and parasitic wasps, beetles, flies, true bugs, and lacewings. Learn about the predator-prey relationships of these flower-visiting beneficial insects and how they help keep problem insect populations in balance. The life cycles, diversity, and nesting habitat of native bees will also be covered along with examples of native plants for different site conditions.

This is a joint venture with the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia. The program will not be recorded. The registration fee is $10."
