Johnson County Master Gardeners: 2021 Continuing Education Series Presents 'When Wild Bees Come to Town'
Johnson County Master Gardeners presents "When Wild Bees Come to Town" featuring Steve Hendrix.
Dr. Steve Hendrix, University of Iowa professor emeritus, explores the biology and status of wild bees and honeybees on native prairies, farms, and urban areas.
Before retiring in 2015, Dr. Hendrix was a faculty member of Department of Botany and Department of Biology for 40 years. During his career, he studied the ecology of plant-animal interactions before turning to bees including:
-- insect induced changes in flower sex,
-- effects of herbivory on plant population dynamics, and then,
-- prairie plant reproduction in habitat and fragments.
Because many prairie plants succeed as populations only if they have pollinators, he started studying wild bees in Iowa and almond groves of California.
