[Pollinator] Common Bees and Best Bee Plants of East webinar available online

[Adamson, Nancy - NRCS, Greensboro, NC]

An hour long webinar  Common Bees and Best Bee Plants of the East provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service's East National Technology Support Center (NRCS ENTSC) is available online at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/entsc/?cid=nrcs143_021685 along with a list of web links.  It is a Windows Media playable movie version of a powerpoint with voice and there is a Mac adaptable player (VLC) available on the website, just above the list of all the NRCS ENTSC webinars.

Here is the program description:

Many of the 700 species of bees in the eastern United States help ensure successful crop pollination, but their value tends to be underestimated because they pollinate crops without being managed or recognized. NRCS staff and others can help conserve these valuable pollinators by understanding more about them and their habitat needs, helping farmers understand their value, and supporting pollinator habitat conservation and establishment. During this program, learn why bees are our most important pollinators, which bees are most common in the eastern region and on various crops, and about plants that are especially valuable for supporting bee conservation. Also learn where to access resources for bee identification, plant selection, and successful pollinator habitat establishment.
