My first post
My first blog! I’m very excited about my new web site and can’t wait to start spreading the word about our fabulous little native bees. This blog will provide the perfect venue for that, and I hope to update it with interesting info every few days. Not everything I write will be about native bees, because I’m always finding interesting tidbits about our world that I’m anxious to share (my family and friends can attest.) So please send comments and questions, just so I know someone’s out there!
