California is host to 1600 native bee species, and recent studies have found 400 of these native bees in urban areas around the state. These findings suggest that urban areas like ARC's campus have the potential to provide refuge for dwindling native bee populations. Come look at some of these beautiful bees under our microscopes, and find out what our students have been doing as part of a National Science Foundation grant involving California Community College students in native bee research.
