Learn about the importance of Ohio’s native bees as pollinators while building your own bee house to give our local cavity-nesting bees more habitat. Participants will learn the value of planting native wildflowers and will be given the resources needed to help bees reproduce and find food on their own property. This workshop will also cover native pollinator plants, with native seed mixes provided so that participants can plant their own pollinator garden! (NOTE: Bee houses require annual maintenance (replacement of nesting materials) to promote healthy bee populations. Therefore, we strongly urge participants to take a bee house only if they are able to maintain it. Tinker’s Creek Watershed Partners will be offering replacement materials for participants’ second year of the bee house free of charge).

This program will take place at the Twinsburg Community Center - 10260 Ravenna Road, Twinsburg, OH 44087.
