Bees, Butterflies and Beyond: Native Pollinator Series: Teddy Bear's Picnic

A male Valley Carpenter Bee sips nectar from Delphinium blossom. A gentle giant nicknamed "the Teddy Bear Bee," this bee has no stinger, making him safe to check out up close. The female Valley Carpenter Bee, a shiny black beauty, has a formidable sting -- best to spend time with the male teddy bears... Native bees are estimated to pollinate 80 percent of flowering plants worldwide, so it's important to celebrate our local pollinator heroes.
