But it's important to stop and think about what we're all fighting for. What exactly defines a pollinator? How is it different from any other animal? Massachusetts is home to at least 365 species of native bees and myriad other pollinators. Each of these has unique requirements\, behaviors\, and seasonality. But\, to truly help pollinators\, we need to recognize and understand them.\n\nPollinators need our help now more than ever. But\, with the right knowledge\, we can make a difference. With a focus on insect pollinators and pests\, we will review the following:\n\n	Common pollinator/pest identification\n	Gardening tips to help support our native pollinators\n	Modifying our landscape practices to accommodate for insect friends\n\nBlake Dinius is an Entomologist Extension Educator at the County of Plymouth. He graduated with a degree in Biology from University of Massachusetts   Boston. Soon after\, he began a 7-year career in insect research where he directed studies on bees\, lacewings\, springtails\, earthworms\, and other critters. He helped to develop guidelines and practices that are currently being used world-wide in the world of ecotoxicology.\n\nRESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED Tickets available online www.ccmnh.org\n\n \n\n$18 Members / $20 Non-Members (Includes at the door day of)\n\nTicket price does NOT include admission to the Museum\n\nFor more information please call: 508-896-3867\, ext. 133
