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 MSU 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 MSU has been named a Bee Campus USA affiliate by the Xerces Society.
