Butterflies, Birds and Bees
We'll dive deeper into the biology and beauty of our favorite pollinators: butterflies, birds and bees! Monarch butterflies are an iconic insect that has experienced population decline in recent years. Learn more about monarch butterflies, from basic biology to less known and fascinating observations. We'll consider the facts in the context of monarch conservation and what you can do to support monarch. In addition, we'll get to see monarch eggs, caterpillars and butterflies up close so you can be prepared to identify any activity in your home garden.
