Let it Bee: Creating a Landscape That Welcomes Native Pollinators
October 29, 2025

On a warm spring evening, join us at Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum at 7:30 on Thursday May 21st for Claudia Copley’s talk, ‘Let it Bee: Creating a Landscape That Welcomes Native Pollinators’. An avid gardener and natural historian, Claudia was the Entomology Collections Manager at the Royal BC Museum for many years.

BC is home to more than 400 different kinds of native bees. This event will give an overview of why pollination is important, who are the pollinators, the amazing diversity of bees and other pollinators, what habitat they need, and how we can all help in small ways to benefit these amazing and essential creatures. https://learning.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/stories/entomology-behind-the-scenes/

All proceeds support Ross Bay Villa, a volunteer-run and owned 1865 historic house museum and the gardens located in Fairfield across from Ross Bay Cemetery.
