Everyone is familiar with bumblebees and honeybees, but did you know that we have roughly 400 different types of bees in this area? Not all of them are yellow and black, either. Native bees come in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Learn about the diversity of native bees and how to tell them apart from wasps and other bee mimics. We'll walk around the pollinator garden at the wildlife refuge and see which bees we can find plus use a hand lens to look at some pinned specimens of some of our most common species.
This program is free at the Visitor Center (3982 Waverly Road, Williamstown WV) starting at 7pm. It should last about one hour.
