Osmia ribifloris (on a barberry flower), is an effective pollinator of commercial blueberries and is one of several relatives of the blue orchard bee, Osmia lignaria. Similar in appearance, the blue orchard bee is also a successful commercial pollinator that is now being evaluated for use in a wider range of crops.

Attracting Pollinators to your Garden

  • Thursday, April 8, 2021, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Pollinators play an important role in native ecosystems, home gardens, and global food production. This presentation will discuss the wide range of pollinators active in our gardens and what gardeners can do to make their yard more attractive to pollinators. We will discuss a variety of native plants and provide a plant list handout. 

Registration is required, 585-624-6067. Your email information will be taken so that we may send all registered participants a Zoom link.

This is a joint program of the Honeoye Falls Conservation Board Community Garden and the Mendon Public Library.
