My son and I are going to try providing native bee houses this spring, using Arundinaria, a native bamboo type grass, as the tubes. It should be fun. I can't keep honeybees, as I am a bit sensitive to the sting, so I need to be careful. I have no problems walking through flowers and such, as they just fly away, but a hive I would think would present too much potential for a misstep on my part. The extension program does sound interesting, though. I am a Master Gardener, so I hope their bee program is equally beneficial.
A walk through the woods is always in order, now you have 2 reasons to do it. Let me know what you find.
