Silverwood Bee-o-Blitz

Take part in the inaugural Bee-o-Blitz organized by the California Native Bee Society

We will find and photograph bees and upload them to iNaturalist.org. 

Bring a camera or cell phone (with the iNaturalist app downloaded). We will walk around the preserve slowly, while watching the flowers and path for native bees. The native flowers support a variety of bee species, including many really gorgeous, colorful species.
