Howard County’s Bee City-USA mission is:
-to raise awareness about the importance of native bees and other pollinators and their vital role in healthy ecosystems and;
-to educate communities about how they can create and sustain healthy habitat for pollinators that are rich in a variety of native plants and free to nearly free of pesticides.
HoCo Bee City Presents Madeline Potter, University of Maryland Extension Faculty Specialist for Entomology and Integrated Pest Management, for an interactive workshop on extending life in your green spaces by conserving beneficial insects and other wildlife through the cold winter months.
Not all animals migrate to warmer areas once the temperatures drop, some animals seek shelter in leaves and plant debris like bumble bee queens and luna moth pupae. For a biodiverse spring, learn how to create and protect overwintering habitat within your own spaces, no matter how big or small your green space might be (container and potted gardens included)!
Participants are encouraged to bring a sketch/map of their green space, including different plant species/types, structures, etc. for an opportunity to think through overwintering habitat that fits their own spaces.
