What can a community do to make life better for pollinators? 🦋🐝🪲🐛

In her breakout session, Laura Rost of the Xerces Society will share practical ways communities can support native pollinators through habitat improvement, pesticide reduction, outreach, and collective action, drawing from the experience of Bee City & Campus USA communities across the country. 🌼

Whether or not Bee City USA certification is on your community’s horizon, this session offers ideas and resources you can carry home and put into practice! 💫

In addition to her breakout session on Sunday, Laura will sit on the Living Landscapes panel discussion on Saturday. 🌱

We’re officially ONE WEEK AWAY from gathering in Floyd! 🐝✨

After months of dreaming, planning, creating, and preparing, this gathering is finally within reach. In just seven days, we’ll come together for a weekend of learning, reflection, music, shared meals, meaningful conversation, and connection — all centered around the question of what it means to co-create a world where bees can thrive. 💛

There is so much heart behind this beautiful bee gathering, and we cannot wait to finally welcome this community to Floyd! 🌱

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your last chance to find your place in the hive. 💫
