Annual Spaghetti Dinner Saturday, April 27, 2019, 6PM Speaker: Sam Droege An Introduction to Maryland's Other Bees St. Bartholomew's Parish Hall 4713 Edmondson Avenue, Baltimore, MD. Beewatching. Yes, its a thing, and something that can add enjoyment in the 3 seasons that flowers bloom. We have in the neighborhood of 450 bee species in Maryland, they inhabit all our habitats including saltmarshes and come in as many diverse sizes and shapes as the flowers they co-evolved with. We will introduce you to the bees (both native and honey) with plenty of high definition photographs and point you in the direction of how to use your binoculars when beewatching. You learn more by following the Native Bee Lab on Instagram @USGSBIML Sam Droege grew up in Hyattsville, Maryland, received an undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland and a Master’s at the State University of New York – Syracuse.
