    The decline in bee populations worldwide has caused alarm in the environmental and agriculture communities, among others. Dr. Faith Kuehn, an entomologist with the Delaware Department of Agriculture, will lead a hands-on workshop with tips on how to identify native bees, gardening for bees’ benefits and more. Make and take home a nest box for native bees. As the plant industries administrator for Delaware DOA, Kuehn has managed a project to survey the native bees in Delaware’s vegetable production areas and works with farmers and landowners to implement pollinator conservation practices.
