Saturday, April 14, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. The Story Behind Wild Bees
Hear from photographers Paula Sharp and Ross Eatman, whose three-year project documenting wild bees at Rockefeller State Park Preserve and neighboring Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture is highlighted in the current exhibition at the Bruce Museum. Their project, sponsored by the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, focuses on a dynamic ecosystem in which native pollinators travel between agricultural plants and woodland nests and flora. Their result shows a richly diverse population of pollinators: To date, Sharp & Eatman have photographed more than 100 species of wild bees.
