Event Details

Lots of people know about the importance of flowering annuals and perennials to honey bees and native pollinators, but did you know that trees play an important role in supporting these vital insects? In this program, Melissa Burdick, Executive Director of The Brenton Arboretum, will review a broad selection of trees that bees love and are beautifully suited to Midwest landscapes.
