Because of habitat loss and other adverse environmental factors, the mutually beneficial and essential relationship between pollinating bees and flowering plants is being disrupted. Hear from MU emeritus faculty members Michael Chippendale and Chris Starbuck about how diverse plantings of native plant species can help rebuild populations of native pollinators. Adults.

Because of habitat loss and other adverse environmental factors, the mutually beneficial and essential relationship that has existed for millions of years between pollinating bees and flowering plants is being disrupted. Bees rely on flower pollen and nectar for food, and most flowering plants rely on bees and other pollinators for fertilization to develop seeds and fruits. Come hear how diverse plantings of native plant species to create habitat and food sources can help rebuild populations of native pollinators.

Presenters Michael Chippendale and Chris Starbuck are emeritus faculty members of the MU Division of Plant Science and Technology in entomology and horticulture, respectively. Chippendale has special interests in insect-plant relationships and Starbuck's emphasis is woody ornamental plants.

Co-sponsored by the Mizzou Botanic Garden.
