The Pollinator Underground: Wild bees in domesticated places<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

March 26, 202<\/em>7<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the first session, I\u2019ll talk about why bees are important, how they use the spaces that we create to stay alive, and what we can do to conserve native bees (and improve pollination in our gardens.)\u00a0 In the second session, I\u2019ll give a quick introduction to the diversity of local bees.\u00a0 Lots of pretty pictures!<\/p>\n

Speaker Profile:<\/strong>
\nWill Peterman is a lifelong geek who stumbled into pollination ecology in graduate school, and remained fascinated by native bees even as he was drawn into the attractive nuisance that is the Seattle software industry.\u00a0 He was an early adopter of digital insect photography, and used that as leverage to gain entry into the UW biology community, where he spent a decade learning to keep, track, and identify bees.He is currently studying the behavioral economics of foraging bees, that is, how bees (and other natural detectives) choose flowers, find food, and make mistakes.
\nHe would like to remind everyone that bees need dirt!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
