Buzzing with Knowledge: A Day with Karen Retra

Twelve participants, young and old, gathered at Mt. Terrible Wines to learn about native pollinators with Karen Retra.

Karen, known for her deep passion for nature and native bees, delivered an engaging presentation on the importance of pollinators in our gardens. Despite the chilly weather keeping insects hidden, Karen’s captivating stories, photographs, and specimens brought the subject to life. The event concluded with a garden walk, where participants explored pollinator habitats and discussed ways to support these vital creatures. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and gain practical tips for encouraging pollinators in everyday spaces.
