Kicking off Pollinator Week is a lecture, “Little Things That Run the World” by Dr. Paul Hyder, our expert on everything from snakes to long horned beetles, from scorpions to pollinators. The talk will cover bees, ants, wasps, flies, beetles, birds and any other critters you may see flying or buzzing about a flower. He will discuss their importance and what you can do to enhance the pollinator population.

Pollinator.org says: “Pollinator Week is an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. It is a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them.”
