Masons, Miners and Scissors – Wild Bees of the Meadows
- Date: 4 October 2024
- Time: 7.30pm
- Address: Jubilee Hall, Chagford, Newton Abbot TQ13 8DP
Ecologist John Walters last gave a fascinating talk on wild bees in 2019 and we thought it’s time to do one again, with a focus on how to create and enhance habitats that offer a variety of nesting sites.
Also, if you’ve ever wondered if honeybees are competing with wild pollinators for resources, Maisie Brett, a PhD researcher from Bristol University, will be sharing the findings of her cutting-edge research.
As ever, our talks are free, but donations are welcome to help cover the cost of running the event.
