Fall cleanup season is here—but what should you do with those perennial stems? Cut them back? Leave them alone? Does it make a difference?
Join Hannah Levenson, NCSU Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Entomology and Plant Pathology, as she shares new research on how our native bees use hollow stems to nest and overwinter. Discover the fascinating world of stem-nesting bees and take away clear guidance on managing perennial stems to support vital native pollinator habitat.
