Numerous, ultra-specific pollination strategies exist all around us between our native plants and our native insect pollinators. Often, these relationships with our native pollinators go unnoticed in our gardens. For example, most people think of the European honey bee when asked about Georgia pollinators but there are many different native bees in Georgia. Join us for this class to learn more about the different insect pollinators that call Georgia home and how you can support them in your own gardens.
