How we can help Wild Pollinators in our own Backyard

22/3/2015

0 Comments

 
We interviewed bee expert, writer, and professor, Mark Winston about wild bees and what we can do to help them in our own backyard. 

Mark is a professor at Simon Fraser University in the Department of Biological Sciences, but is currently located at the Centre for Dialogue. He has been involved with bees for over 40 years. ​

Here are some links on how you can support wild bees: 

The Xerces Society provides information on building nesting habitats for wild bumblebees, ground nesting bees, and cavity nesting bees. 
  • Nests for Native Bees Fact Sheet

The Vancouver-based Environmental Youth Alliance highlights pollinator support projects underway in the lower mainland. They have a pollinator hotel, pollinator gardens, and a community beekeeping program. Click on the "Bee" tab.

Have fun supporting pollinators in your yard or community!

    Michalina, Max, and Barrett are students working on building a pollinator hotel on the Quest University Canada campus!  Stay tuned for a community event, pollinator facts, and much much more!!

    This blog was started by Michalina.  She loves everything about bees. She is currently working on a research project in Greater Vancouver investigating pollination from native bees in blueberry fields. She's working on her undergrad from Quest University in Squamish. When she's not beeking out, you can find her fermenting something in the kitchen. ​
