CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE BEES
California is home to over 1,600 species of native bees, and they are a vital part of many ecosystems. They are important pollinators and a sign of a healthy garden. Through macro photography you’ll get to know more about these native bees, their special relationships with native plants, and what makes them so special to community science engagement.
Community Scientist, and Photographer Krystle Hickman is based in Los Angeles, California. Through her artful photography, she strives to increase awareness of the worrisome decline of native bee species and their biodiverse ecosystems. She regularly works to photograph and document the bees in public gardens like the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Arlington Garden, and she also collects data on rare bee species in the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree National Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and the Santa Monica Mountains, as well as private yards with native gardens. Her photography has been featured in scientific journals, children’s books, and The LA Times.
