FLOWER POWER!!!

In keeping with our emphasis on the importance of pollination, here are a few links to articles that cover a new exhibit assembled by The Royal Saskatchewan Museum and now on display, entitled Insects, Flowers, and Food.    





The  designers used one of Haskap Canada's photos in a multi-media presentation, which shows Dr. Bob in the field last summer on Haskap Day 2014.  Why not stop by and view their exhibit when you're in town!
