Author and renowned bee expert Sam Droege takes us on a deep dive into the relationship between native plants and native bees. Discover why native bees are so important and how our landscaping practices impact these keystone species. Learn more about the plants needed by our rarest “specialist” bees who gather pollen from a single family, genus, or even a single plant species, and are most in need of conservation.
