Presented by Jon Elmquist, Insect Conservation Technician FLMNH: McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History.
Join us for a fascinating and eye‑opening session with Jon Elmquist, an insect conservation specialist whose work at the Florida Museum of Natural History focuses on protecting Florida’s native pollinators. Jon brings deep field experience, scientific clarity, and a passion for public education—making this workshop a perfect fit for gardeners, naturalists, beekeepers, and anyone who cares about the health of our ecosystems.
Florida is home to an extraordinary diversity of native bees—many of which are solitary, specialized, and vulnerable. Understanding how honey bee management intersects with wild bee survival helps us make informed decisions about planting, land care, and community education. Jon’s workshop empowers participants to support balanced, science‑based conservation that benefits all pollinators.
