Free Bee identification workshop series

Bee Line volunteers are getting early registration to this special opportunity, ahead of the neighborhood, as a thank-you for all your support! Neighbor, Elaine Evans, is a well known researcher, speaker and author on bumblebees. We are lucky to have her and her associates available for this series. Bee Line supporters are encouraged to take advantage of this neighborhood happening.
