Bee calendar sales to benefit pollinator habitat work by the Xerces Society
Today is the first of two deadlines to order the ÒNorth American Bee Calendar,Ó a project benefiting the pollinator habitat work of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the Great Sunflower Project. UC Davis scientists contributed to it.
The 9-by-12-inch calendar spotlights a different bee genus each month, with notes on preferred plants, nesting needs and guidance on how to identify the genus, said project coordinator Celeste Ets-Hokin, a Bay Area native bee enthusiast. The calendar features photos by noted insect photographer Rollin Coville, who received his doctorate in entomology from UC Berkeley.
The calendar, priced at $15, may be ordered from the Xerces Society website at http://www.xerces.org/calendar or the Great Sunflower Project website at http://www.greatsunflower.org.
Ets-Hokin and Matthew Shepherd of the Xerces Society edited the calendar. Five scientists shared their research expertise: Neal Williams and Robbin Thorp of UCD; Gordon Frankie and Claire Kremen of UC Berkeley; and Rachael Winfree of Rutgers University.
The deadline to submit all orders is Tuesday, Nov. 30. For more information or discount rates, contact Ets-Hokin at [email protected]
