More about Bees!

Following our Bumblebee theme from yesterday, Utah State University Extension has many excellent resources. One of them is whole website dedicated to the native bees of Utah. Find out about bee anatomy, species that live in Utah and how to identify them, and take a quiz to discover your bee knowledge. You can even submit your own names for bees! Many native species do not have common names yet. Check it out and see if your name wins!

Teachers! There are also plenty of classroom resources to try. Check out pollinator partnerships, very cool posters (I even have one hanging in my office they're so cool), and even a lesson plan on Native Bees. For more information, click here!
