As the days become warmer and the first flowers of spring appear, look and listen for the gentle sound of bees in your garden. Many bees that call Colorado home will emerge from their underground nests, hollow stems, or holes in trees starting in March. The diversity of local habitats in Colorado helps to explain why there are over 900 reported native species!
