Buzzing Beneath the Radar
Free. In person or on Zoom
The Texas Master Naturalist Coastal Prairie Chapter will be presenting their free monthly chapter program:
“Buzzing Beneath the Radar: The Importance of Native Bees” with Erin Mills, Entomologist.
Far from the bustling hives and the delicious honey, you will find
an army of native bees, tirelessly working to keep ecosystems
alive. Native bees are the stewards of our native landscapes and
most people don’t even know they exist. Join Erin Mills as she
introduces you to our local heroes and how we can best support
them in their work.

Houston Museum of Natural Science, she spent 4 years leading
the education team at the Houston Botanic Garden, and now
