Faith Kuehn, Ph.D.
Honey bee and native bee populations in the United States have been declining over
the past few decades. Should you encourage bees to inhabit your golf course? The
answer is yes, because your property can be managed to make a significant contribution
to the conservation of pollinators, especially bees. Pollinator conservation is
a goal of the USDA, EPA and many environmental groups, so advertising your green
practices can contribute to a positive environmental image for your golf facility.
In this webcast, Faith Kuehn, Ph.D., highlights the identification and habits of
some of the most common native bees. The program’s focus is on the three principles
of bee conservation: flower choice, the provision of nesting sites and pollinator-friendly
maintenance. In addition, the ever-present concern, "the sting," is also discussed.
