Did you Know that Southern Arizona has over 750 Species of Native Bees?

Learn more about Native Bees on Tuesday March 17, at 6 pm, in HRB 303 (Human Resources Building) at Cochise College!

Tanner Bland, a native bee expert, will talk about bee diversity in southern Arizona and about a few bee species in more detail. Tanner will also discuss his work with the Tucson Bee Collaborative. Did you know that bee DNA can be "bar-coded" to enable greater understanding of which flowers are more preferable to bees in different landscapes?

Tanner is the Bee Collaborative Program Coordinator at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and is a student at the University of Arizona. His masters' studies are focused on bee DNA and pollen.

There will be a chapter business meeting at 7 pm, which will conclude by 8 pm. Be sure to stay so you can earn chapter service time.
