Join us on May 3rd for a free workshop where participants can assemble a pollinator house that can nest all types of native pollinators. A pollinator house (or hotel) are important structures in urban areas for solitary-nesting bees and other native pollinators. While more well-known pollinators such as the European honeybee live cooperatively in colonies, many pollinators and native bees live and work solitarily, and seek out nests in hollowed stems and twigs and logs. These pollinator houses can be placed in yards, balconies, or porches. The workshop will offer free materials for assembly and requires no experience. Held at Cactus Club from 12p-2p and led by @kitchen_celebrity. RSVP in the ticket link please – Donations accepted!
