SUMMARY:Woodland Wednesday Trees for Bees
DESCRIPTION:While trees provide many well-known ecological benefits\, the importance of trees as a source of food for bees is sometimes overlooked. \nBees and flowering plants have a critical relationship. Flowering plants provide nectar and pollen for a bee’s diet. Pollen is an essential source of protein for developing bee larvae\, and nectar provides a carbohydrate source. Bees\, in turn\, transport pollen from flower to flower as they forage\, allowing for plant fertilization and the production of seeds and fruit. \nJoin us for a virtual program on Wednesday\, March 20th at 6:30 PM to discuss this important relationship\, showcase significant tree species\, and find out what it means for your yards and your woods.  Our featured speaker is Denise Ellsworth\, Program Director\, Pollinator Education\, Department of Entomology\, The Ohio State University. \nRegistration is required for this free online presentation by visiting https://bit.ly/WoodlandWednesdaysMarch2024 \nFor more information call the county Farm Bureau office at 440.426.2195 or Ashtabula SWCD at 440.576.4946 or email ashtabulaswcd@gmail.com. \nWoodland Wednesday Collaborators include NE Counties Farm Bureaus\, Natural Resources Conservation Service\, Geauga\, Lake\, Ashtabula\, Portage\, and Trumbull Soil and Water Conservation Districts\, Division of Forestry\, Division of Wildlife\, and Holden Forests and Gardens. \n\n
