Bee Campus USA

The college that I attend, Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, recently became a Bee Campus


In this case, that means that they tilled up a number of areas on campus and planted pollinator mixes. There are some gorgeous gardens in full bloom, now, with a bunch of bees happily flying from one flower to the next. I will try to take some pictures next time I am on campus.

The Bee Campus program is a series of commitments put forward by Bee City USA.

Bee Campus USA provides a framework for university and college campus communities to work together to conserve native pollinators by increasing the abundance of native plants, providing nest sites, and reducing the use of pesticides.

Those pollinator attractors are just gorgeous!

thank you for sharing the pictures and the knowledge that folks are helping out.

I went to SUNY Cortland, which was also a Bee Campus while I was there. I always enjoyed seeing all of the little friends in the warmer months. They kept the campus greenhouse vents open for them until sunset so they could come in and pollinate during the day.

I said I would take some pictures, and here they are. This is one of the smaller pollinator gardens. They did a good job scattering them around campus.
