Current and Recent Projects
The Urban Bee Lab is involved with many projects throughout the state, and even a few in Costa Rica! From presentations to garden clubs, to workshops on bee identification, we span the state promoting the conservation of native bees and all pollinators.
Here is a short list of projects we are currently working on. Please see the drop down boxes under "Current and Recent Projects" for more detailed information on a few of our big projects.

- Farming for Native Bees: collaborating with farmers, we encourage native bees on farms through bee-attractive plantings
- The Sonoma Bee Count: a 10 yr study and citizen initiated project monitoring native bees in Sonoma, CA
