Presentation by Mark Faherty, Science Coordinator, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Its time we had that birds and the bees talk. While we have heard much about declining honeybees, many of us dont know that honeybees are not native to this continent or that our native pollinators are also in trouble.

This talk will focus on hummingbirds, butterflies, and some of the incredible variety of native bees, wasps, flies, and other pollinators in our backyards.

Mark will discuss some of his favorite garden and native landscape plants and how to provide habitat for these incredibly important little workhorses of our natural, agricultural, and suburban landscapes.
