Slough Science: Mason Bees

Join CSWC for an educational speaker event at Level Beer in which Elaine Murphy will be discussing Mason Bees. Pollinators play an amazing role in nature. Learn about the fascinating life cycle of our native mason bees. They are not aggressive and fun to observe. You'll learn simple ways to start a colony in your own backyard and other ways to attract other native pollinators.
