Pollinators

 Tonight the master naturalist chapter had a zoom meeting with Naturalist Dave. He talked about pollinators and about his new passive house on Lexington Parkway in Saint Paul. Passive homes are very energy efficient. He also has solar collectors on the roof and instead of getting an electric bill he got a check for five months of the year. Only time will tell if he is able to use less electricity than he makes. He kept a list of all the pollinators he saw at his new home and at his old home in White Bear Lake. He had terrific pictures of bees, wasps, flies, beetles and bugs. He has a very engaging speaking style and I enjoyed spending time looking at bugs made all the more fascinating by what Dave knew about them and their habits.
