[Sc-aquaponics] Secret Lives of Good Garden Bugs and Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz Workshops!

[Tiu, Laura]

While this workshop is not directly related to aquaponics or greenhouse production, beneficial insect use in aquaponics is something that we all probably need more information on.  Perhaps some of you may be interested in attending this workshop.

Subject: [All-agnr] Secret Lives of Good Garden Bugs and Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz Workshops!

All,

The Agricultural Landscape Ecology Lab is hosting three sessions of a workshop this year in May to kick off The Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz 2014! This workshop will focus on the 'secret lives' of beneficial garden arthropods. You will learn about the diversity of predators, parasitoids, and pollinators that inhabit your garden. We will discuss foraging strategies, courtship, parental care of young, shelter and nest building, and much more! Many of the presentations feature excerpts and photos from the new book "Good Garden Bugs" written by Dr. Mary Gardiner due out in spring, 2015. Participants can also get involved with two exciting research projects, the Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz and a NEW study examining pollination services in home gardens! As part of the afternoon session, we will include an update on what we have learned from the BLBB surveys to date, a review of lady beetle identification and sampling procedures, and distribution of 2014 toolkits. A flyer is attached with additional information.
