Discovering Our Native Bees Zoom Program

Learn about Pennsylvania’s Native Bees with Lehigh Valley Audubon Society’s Karen Campbell

 Zoom Meeting on Mar 21, 2025

07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join us to kick-off Spring 2025 by discovering some of the bee-utiful bees that are in our yards, gardens, and local wild places!

Pennsylvania has as many species of bees as birds, but they're easy to miss until you know what to look for!

You'll learn:

• how and why bees gather pollen yet unwittingly pollinate plants in the process.

• and discover that some insects you think are bees are imitators.

• easy ways to support native bees.

Karen Campbell authors Bugs for Birds for our quarterly Osprey newsletter. She's an award-winning macro photographer, Certified Pollinator Steward, and is completing her qualifications as a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist.

COSTA RICA FROM SEA TO SUMMIT Presented by Dr. Terry Master

Learn with Lehigh Valley Audubon Society when we host an

online presentation by Dr. Terry Master:

COSTA RICA FROM SEA TO SUMMIT

Friday, February 21, 2025 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)

"Costa Rica has over 900 species of birds in an area the size of West Virginia, almost the same total as the U.S. and Canada combined!

Such high diversity is largely the result of an extremely varied topography resulting in Costa Rica having 12 of 36 major biomes found throughout the world. It is possible to go from sea level to over 12,000 ft. in a distance of only 30 miles.

This program highlights bird species, including their ecology and behavior, characteristic of different elevations throughout this amazingly diverse country."
