A bee makes his way to some gray headed prairie coneflowers at the Black Prairie Pollination Garden located adjacent to the Clay Lyle Entomology Building on the Ï㽶ֱ²¥campus. The garden contains 30 types of wildflowers, four trees and nine native grasses that can be found in the Black Belt Prairie. Spaces like this are one reason Ï㽶ֱ²¥has been named a Bee Campus USA affiliate by the Xerces Society.
