<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This week we will learn about some of the oddest bees in the state, the kleptoparasites. These bees don't build their own nests, but "cuckoo" the nests of other bees. August
is the Interpretation Coordinator at Mount Pisgah Arboretum, helping to develop the Arboretum’s interpretive exhibits and adult educational programming. He has been studying and photographing bees and other pollinating insects in the region for over five years,
and his photographs have appeared in a number of publications. August regularly teaches classes and delivers talks on pollination ecology and bee identification around the state. Most recently, he is an instructor with the Oregon Bee Atlas in teaching basic
bee taxonomy to volunteers conducting a statewide census of Oregon’s bee species.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
