POLLINATOR CONSIDERATIONS: ATTRACTING POLLINATORS TO YOUR GARDEN AND THINKING
ABOUT BEE KEEPING
Erin Rupp, Pollinate Minnesota
Thursday, February 18TH, 630 pm
At the RIVERVIEW LIBRARY
1 East George Street
St. Paul, MN 55107
Pollinators are critical to the food we eat and the way we live. If you're
producing your own food, your garden needs to be a healthy place for bees and
other pollinators. Learn more about pollinators in Minnesota, how to attract
them, and basics to consider when keeping your own honey bee hive. We'll also
cover why it's hard to be a bee these days, ways to help, and local resources
to get more involved with beekeeping and pollinator protection.
Erin Rupp is the founder and Executive Director of Pollinate Minnesota which
works with communities to promote education about bees and the important
catalysts they can be for systems change.
This class is part of the St. Paul Public Library Urban Homestead series.
