Bee Campus

UNM-Taos seeks to advance education and conservation opportunities for not only honey bees but for a wide range of native pollinators. The Taos chapter of Native Plants of New Mexico will work to help UNM-Taos create a native plant garden to feed pollinators of all kinds. 

UNM-Taos is excited about creating opportunities for student research and service learning. Already faculty, staff and students have worked together to study and create pollinator habitats with native plants. This spring, the campus added 32 new plants near the apiary donated by High Country Gardens.
