ACA Board Member, apiarist, & naturalist Doug McGinnis explains what this week’s mystery item was… a Native Bee Hotel! 🐝✨
Native bees are important pollinators that play a crucial role in the ecosystem. By providing them with a safe & secure place to nest, bee hotels can help support their populations + promote biodiversity. 💚
