[Pollinator] Bee City USA & Bee Campus USA 2022 Annual Affiliate Report

[Matthew Shepherd]

The work that the Bee City and Bee Campus affiliates do each year is
inspiring. The commitments of Bee City and Bee Campus are centered around
three basic ideas: create pollinator habitat, reduce pesticides, and spread
the word. We provide information resources and support, but the strength of
this movement lies in the enthusiasm, creativity, and talents of each of
our affiliates -- and it truly is amazing what they do.

The following link includes a series of snapshots from the reports
submitted by our wonderful city, county, college, and university affiliates.
