Come and learn about the native bees that live here in the Santa Clara Valley. These local insects help pollinate your ornamental and edible plants! You’ll see over a dozen bee species that live in our urban setting – especially among locally growing native plants. Find out how planting even a few select natives can enrich your garden and attract even more native (and honey) bees.
