This year, things are different.
2021 finds us in the middle of a pandemic, so we're hosting this year's BEEvent Pollinator Conference online, via Zoom. While we will miss seeing old friends and new, this format has some advantages. No need to make travel arrangements, and you can attend in your pajamas, if you like!

Our Expert Speakers will cover:

    • Creating a Bee Haven with Room and Board
    • Documenting Wild Native Bee Declines
    • Bees of the Willamette Valley
    • Oregon Bee Atlas and more
    • Best Practice for Mason Bees

Plus:  ask your questions during the Q &A sessions.

We will be using Zoom to host. This is a very simple, user-friendly interface. You'll be sent instructions on how to get set up, and some helpful information on what's needed. We recognize Zoom fatigue, so those who register will have the opportunity to re-watch segments later in the month.

Note: We are limiting the amount of tickets to 500, to stay within the limits of the Zoom interface. You won't want to miss this year's conference when you see the list of expert speakers we have on our schedule, so sign up now. Full Information Here

Thanks again for supporting the bees, and Linn County Master Gardeners!

*We will not ship products, so in-person pickup is the only option.
 
Note: Our guidelines are tailored to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. We want blue orchard mason bee cocoons that you purchase from us to be used within the east to west boundaries of the Coastal Range to the Cascades. The northern boundary is the Portland/Columbia River areas and southern boundary is the Umpqua Valley area. Check with your county Extension agent if you live outside these areas.
As always, thank you for supporting bees!
