Event Details

There are over 1,100 native species of bees in Arizona, with lifestyles that are very different from honeybees, in addition to other types of pollinators. Understanding them can help us find ways to tweak our garden, landscaping, and farming practices to be more inclusive and supportive of our native bees. In this month's Gardening Talk with a Yavapai Master Gardener, you will learn how to identify them, provide suitable habitat and food sources, how mulching, tilling, winter cleanup, and other common garden practices can destroy native bee habitats, and what you can do to enhance the survival of these vital creatures.

The Gardening Talks series is available thanks to a partnership with Yavapai Master Gardeners. For more information about Yavapai Master Gardeners or other questions about gardening, call 928-445-6590 Ext 222.
