Credits
We at Our Native Bees would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their contributions to the development of this web site, launched in November, 2009:
Web Site Design:
Ann Pennington - Lead Designer and Lead Programmer
Ann has been helping organizations develop creative and informative web sites for over ten years. She has donated countless hours to non-profit and charity organizations, and is almost entirely responsible for this Our Native Bees web site -- all of which was created in addition to her very demanding 'day job'. Thanks so much, Ann!
Suzanne Bakewell - Marketing and Web Development
Suzanne has worked in Marketing for many years and was instrumental in developing the original site map and copy. She was so enthusiastic about Our Native Bees that she offered to donate her time and talents to the project, and we are very grateful!

Photographs:
Keith Loh - Photographer Extraordinaire from Vancouver, B.C.
Keith shot some of the most creative and beautiful shots of OMB's that I've seen, and was nice enough to let us use some of them on the site!
Inspiration:
Brian Griffin of Knox Cellars - I purchased my first Orchard Mason Bees from them 8 years ago, and learned so much about OMB's from his book, The Orchard Mason Bee. Mr. Griffin was one of the first to recognize the importance of native bees as pollinators, and his motto - Bring Back the Bees - says it all!
