Naturalist and filmmaker James Carey gives a buzz-worthy presentation! A species of native ground-nesting pollinators, known as the Bindweed Turret Bees, have been busy; discover what they've been up to.  Attendees can learn from a citizen scientist who has taken the time to observe their behavior, habitat, and challenges. 

Participants can see these bees in amazing close-up detail in an informative video presentation, then take a guided hike to observe the bees in action.
 
The 45-minute presentation is at the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center, followed by an optional one-mile hike to see an active nesting colony.
 
Note: these Native Bees are not aggressive, and not known to sting or even bother humans.
 
Space is limited, reserve a spot to attend.
