Local resource to help bees

Thanks to The Bee for continuing to bring attention to the importance of bee pollinators and the factors contributing to bee decline. I am disappointed, however, that the online version of your recent editorial did not direct readers to a local resource. The Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven (hhbhgarden.ucdavis.edu) is an educational garden devoted to bee pollinators that is open every day, free of charge. The garden, our programs and our Web page provide information on local bees and plants and what each of us can do to help.
