<DIV><FONT size=2>As busy as a bee? Do you need a way to keep track of your
schedule? The Xerces Society and the Great Sunflower Project are happy to offer
the 2010 Native Bee Calendar, which was created by Celeste Ets-Hokin. With
magnificent close-up photos by Rollin Coville, this calendar takes you on a tour
of twelve commonly encountered types of native bees. Each month features a
full-page pin-up of a different bee genus, accompanied by a brief summary of its
preferred plants, nesting needs, and notes on how to identify it—and of course,
a complete day-by-day calendar for each month. Preview a sample of the front
cover, one month, and back cover at </FONT><A

<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>The Great</STRONG> <STRONG>Sunflower Project</STRONG>
is accelerating the pace of pollinator conservation by empowering people from
pre-schoolers to scientists to make the world a better place for bees. The idea
is simple; gardeners plant a sunflower and then time how long it takes
for five bees to visit. Gardens that quickly see bees are healthy. Gardens
that don't see bees aren't. The sunflowers are both a thermometer measuring
the health of the bee community across the continent and a wonderful
resource making each garden where they are planted a better place for bees. Join
