Hey Listener, 

In this month's episode, we’re chatting with Maddie Potter, UME Faculty Specialist for Entomology and Integrated Pest Management, all about WASPS! 

How are they different from bees, what roles do they play in the environment and we play "Wasp Fact or Fiction". 

We also have our : 

• Native Plant of the Month: Virginia Mountain mint
• Bug of the Month: Cuckoo wasp
•  and Monthly Garden Tips.

We currently have an open survey for ALL listeners. Whether you’ve listened to all of our episodes, or this is your first time. We developed an evaluation to determine if the information we share on the podcast has made a difference in your practices at home. We promise that it is a short, easy 5-minute survey, and we even have exclusive podcast stickers to give to those who participate. We are so thankful for the feedback, and we appreciate you tuning in for the podcast!
