Age: 6 and up Join us for a fun-filled workshop Saturday March 11th from 1-2pm at Art-O-Maddic where we’ll learn all about native bees. These insects play essential roles in maintaining a balanced ecosystem, and are important for pollinating all kinds of plants. But did you know that we have over 4,000 native bees right here in North America, and that many species nest in the ground or plant stems? We’ll start out the class with a lesson on the different types of native bees here in the Willamette Valley, and the various kinds of habitat they need. Then we will decorate mason bee houses. Students will also receive several mason bee cocoons to start their own colony, seed packets to plant native flowers in their yard, and a poster with the different native bees found right here in Oregon.
