Participate in this webinar to gain understanding of the most common bees and best forage (nectar and pollen sources) you can provide to support bee pollinators in the eastern United States.
Many of the 700 species of bees in the eastern United States help ensure successful crop pollination, but their value tends to be underestimated because they pollinate crops without being managed or recognized. USDA NRCS staff and others can help conserve these valuable pollinators by understanding more about them and their habitat needs, helping farmers understand their value, and supporting pollinator habitat conservation and establishment. During this program, learn why bees are our most important pollinators, which bees are most common in the eastern region and on various crops, and about plants that are especially valuable for supporting bee conservation. Also learn where to access resources for bee identification, plant selection, and successful pollinator habitat establishment.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
