UMaine Extension bee houses included in Press Herald column on gifts for gardeners
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension was cited in the Portland Press Herald’s latest column in the Maine Gardener series. The article focused on gift ideas for gardeners. For do-it-yourself types, the author suggested giving material — lumber and strapping — to build bee houses. The author also advised including a printed copy of the UMaine Extension bulletin on native bees, which includes instructions for building the houses.
