He will explain why these “other pollinators” are important to our garden ecosystems and show us how to recognize, support and sustain these bees through our gardening practices.

Photo Contest Judging this Evening
Tonight, you will be invited to judge the photos submitted for this year's photo contest. Please arrive early (doors open at 7 pm tonight) to review the photos and cast your ballots.

Contestants' photos will be displayed on eight poster boards, and society members will be provided with eight voting slips - one vote per display board. As judges, each of us will be tasked with selecting our favourite photo on each display board, writing the number of the photograph on a voting slip, and dropping it in the voting box on the table in front of each display board. Members of the Photo Contest Committee will be available to answer questions and support the process.
