BREWSTER, MA ­ As part of the Gardening for Life 
Speaker Series, the Friends of the Cape Cod 
Museum of Natural History and Association to 
Preserve Cape Cod present I Speak for Bees with 
Gail Howe Trenholm Sunday,  May 1, 2016 at 1pm at 
CCMNH 869 Main St./Rte. 6A in Brewster.

  There are over 200,000 different species of 
animals in the world that act as pollinators. Of 
these about 1000 are vertebrates like birds, bats 
and small animals. The real workhorses are the 
199,000 invertebrates that achieve the majority 
of our crop pollination. Everyone knows about 
honey bees, but many people don’t know they are 
not native. The unsung heroes are our native 
bees, wasps, beetles, butterflies, moths, and even flies.

Gail will provide an introduction and simple 
overview of the various characteristics of these 
families of insects with emphasis on the more 
important pollinators. She is a self-taught 
naturalist who recently has developed a passion 
for our native bees and providing habitat both in 
her own yard and throughout Oakville, ON.

Gail Howe Trenholm is both a Master Naturalist 
and Founder and President of Nature Visits Inc., 
an environmental education organization in 
Toronto, Ontario. Prior to moving to Canada she 
was Conservation Coordinator at Massachusetts 
Audubon's Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center 
and Wildlife Sanctuary in Worcester. She was an 
active member of the Massachusetts Butterfly 
Club, and recently presented on pollinators and 
bee hotel design at the Massachusetts 
Environmental Educators Association's annual 
conference. During her career, Gail has conducted 
many insect programs for anyone who will listen 
and those who have taken her courses know her 
enthusiasm for insects is both inspiring and contagious!

General Admission is $10 per person Reservations Recommended
APCC Members $5 / Tickets available online at www.ccmnh.org

The Gardening for Life Speaker Series is 
sponsored in part by the Friends of CCMNH and
