Feedback the Bees
Follow up on the bee study. We have some very neat things happening right in our back yards.
In March of 2016 we published Bee Study Coming To Holly Hills…
A healthy bee population and the pollination service they provide are critical for our food security. Scientists are concerned as they see bee populations decline. Holly Hills has been chosen as one of two areas for a study being conducted on the impacts of urban landscape on the presence and health of bees.

Researchers at SLU are looking for15 sites within each of the chosen neighborhoods. If you or anyone you know would like your yard or garden to be part of this research please contact Hannah Ehrlich at
garden@hollyhills.info.
