A Look at Some Wasps and Bees and Their Look-alikes in a Piedmont Urban Setting
John A. Gerwin, Research Curator and Educator, Ornithology, NC Museum of Natural Sciences
North Carolina is home to many species of wasps, bees and their mimics, which perform significant pollination duties. With a little effort in the garden one can attract and enjoy quite a variety of these species. In this presentation John will showcase many species from his own Piedmont yard and discuss some of their natural histories, along with some of his favorite native plants. He has also invited his colleague Gabriela Garrison to explain a new North Carolina Bee Atlas survey, a project that invites the public to participate in observation and data collection.
