Bees: Prairie Diversity and Conservation Status

Saskatchewan's native prairie plays a pivotal role in the diversity and conservation of bees. Join Curator of Invertebrate Zoology, Dr. Cory Sheffield, as he speaks about the diversity and conservation of Canada’s bees, and the importance of Saskatchewan's grasslands for sustaining bee populations. Get tips on gardening for pollinators and how you can help conserve pollinators and potential threats to their populations.
