 *2010 Native Bee Calendar*

*Order your calendar by November 30th! *

As busy as a bee? Do you need a way to keep track of your schedule? The
Xerces Society and the Great Sunflower Project are happy to offer the 2010
Native Bee Calendar, which was created by Celeste Ets-Hokin. With
magnificent close-up photos by Rollin Coville, this calendar takes you on a
tour of twelve commonly encountered types of native bees. Each month
features a full-page pin-up of a different bee genus, accompanied by a brief
summary of its preferred plants, nesting needs, and notes on how to identify
it—and of course, a complete day-by-day calendar for each month. Preview a
sample of the front cover, one month, and back cover at
http://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sample-calendar.pdf.

*All orders must be received online by Monday, November 30, 2009. Calendars
will be shipped to arrive by the holidays. *
**
Price: $14.00 (including shipping).

The calendar can be purchased online through either organization:
*Great Sunflower Project* http://www.greatsunflower.org/en/2010-bee-calendar
*Xerces Society* http://www.xerces.org/calendar/

*Sales of this calendar will directly benefit the conservation work of both
organizations.*

*The Great* *Sunflower Project* is accelerating the pace of pollinator
conservation by empowering people from pre-schoolers to scientists to make
the world a better place for bees. The idea is simple; gardeners plant a
sunflower and then time how long it takes for five bees to visit. Gardens
that quickly see bees are healthy. Gardens that don't see bees aren't. The
sunflowers are both a thermometer measuring the health of the bee community
across the continent and a wonderful resource making each garden where they
are planted a better place for bees. Join us at
