Bees, Butterflies, Bats:
Why Pollinators Matter in Florida
Pollinators are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat... but their populations are in critical decline.
Habitat loss continues to increase with urban development and land-use changes.
But hope is not lost!
There’s more interest in pollinator gardening now than ever before! Micro-habitats are proving to sustain pollinator populations!
“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” ~Albert Einstein
Presenter:
Our presenter for our November forum is Maxine Hunter, UF/IFAS Extension Marion County Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent. Currently Maxine works with beekeepers, small farmers and the general public on pest management, animal health and natural resource issues. We’re hopeful to also have a local beekeeper with us to share their lifelong love of pollinators.
Local honey will also be available for purchase.
