2010 Native Bee Calendar
Order your calendar by November 30th! 

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 http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sample-calendar.pdf. 

All orders must be received online by Monday, November 30, 2009. Calendars will be shipped to arrive by the holidays. 

Price: $14.00 (including shipping). 

The calendar can be purchased online through either organization:
Great Sunflower Project http://www.greatsunflower.org/en/2010-bee-calendar
Xerces Society http://www.xerces.org/calendar/

Sales of this calendar will directly benefit the conservation work of both organizations.

The Great Sunflower Project 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.
