SUMMARY:Native Bee Habitat Walk
DESCRIPTION:Timing is everything for native bees. Observing them durin
 g the period in which they construct nests\, mate\, and provision nata
 l cells can be the most illuminating time to observe them. Kris\, a na
 tive bee enthusiast with the Washington Native Bee Society\, will lead
  a tour of some of Fort Flager’s most active bee habitats. With a li
 ttle luck\, she hopes to share them while they exhibit some of these f
 ascinating behaviors\, helping to inspire your future observations\, i
 n the wild or your backyard.\nKris Ethington is a citizen scientist\,
  native bee enthusiast\, and photographer. Her curiosity for the natur
 al world began with learning to garden for butterfly habitat in southe
 rn California. She has participated in Monarch parasite and migration 
 citizen science studies and led environmental outreach programs. She p
 ursued a certificate in landscape design before leaving CA and served 
 as a garden ambassador for the California Native Plant\nSociety after 
 designing and re-planting her landscape with mostly native plants. It 
 was in this garden that she became a garden naturalist\, photographing
  plant/pollinator interactions and documenting her observations throug
 h iNaturalist.org for expert identification and scientific research. A
 fter retiring to Port Townsend in 2021\, she applied these skills to g
 ain knowledge of Washington’s wild bee populations and explore their
  nesting habitats. Her bee surveys have covered over 16 sites in east 
 Jefferson County spanning three years. As an active member of the Wash
 ington Native Bee Society\, Kris contributes to its advocacy and conse
 rvation efforts by creating regional awareness through educational out
 reach.\nFort Flagler State Park\, Beachcomber Cafe
