Bee Safety

Message from the Coronado National Forest

Greetings Coronado,

With the recent precipitation and subsequent wildflower bloom here in SEAZ, I wanted to share these bee safety resources you can use when outdoors during this time of year. Within these links are some great tips and recommendations for preventing and treating stings from these essential pollinators, as well as some of the latest information from the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center here in Tucson.
