By early summer the pond level in Busey Woods is starting to drop. By fall most are completely dry. However when they are full they are the home to many invertebrates including the immature form of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are not the only insect found in the woods. During 1997 this honey bee hive was quite visible.
Honey bees are very important pollinators of many plants.
Busey Woods is not just for kids to learn and explore. Many families and adults walk or run in Busey Woods. Adults lead programs for school tours and summer camp, participate in training sessions and recommend management strategies. To volunteer please call 384-4062.
