Learn about the bees

From staff reports

The Glen Lake Library in Empire will host a presentation by Dr. Julianna Wilson, an entomologist at Michigan State University, on Tuesday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Wilson has spent the last 10 years studying wild bees in various cropping systems in Michigan, and is currently a research and extension specialist in tree fruit integrated pest management, which includes collaborating on a multi-state and multi-crop pollination project. She will speak about the different kinds of wild bees found in Michigan, comparing and contrasting them to honey bees, and about simple strategies that anyone can employ to support and protect bees in Michigan. Her presentation is cosponsored by the Glen Lake Garden Club, and will be held at the Empire Township Hall, across the street from the library.
