Native Bee Stewardship Network aims to Decolonize the Hive by expanding our view of “Save the Honey Bees” to pivot towards advocating and supporting Native Bees. This hour-long knowledge sharing workshop celebrates native pollinators and their unique relationship with native plants through self-expression, environmental stewardship, and community building.
