Solana Beach Historical Society hosts April 29 meeting about native bees
Did you know that there are more than 600 native bee species in San Diego County? And that most nest underground? Can you guess what might be the biggest threat to their health and existence?
The answer might surprise you! Learn more about the amazing diversity of native bees at 5 p.m., Friday, April 29 when the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society and SeaWeeders Garden Club host researcher and pollination ecologist Dillon Travis at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Ave. Center.
Travis will take a break from field studies to share his expertise on the diversity and importance of native bees to the ecosystem — and to food! He is a Ph.D. candidate with the Kohn Lab, Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, Division of Biological Sciences at the University of California, San Diego. This spring, Travis has been studying bees in remote Southern California areas (where M*A*S*H and Planet of the Apes once were filmed). “I am conducting field research in the Santa Monica Mountains, where honey bees are present, and on Santa Cruz Island, where honey bees were eradicated 20 years ago. This allows us to study how the presence or absence of honey bees impacts native bee diversity and abundance.”
This in-person meeting is the Society’s first general membership gathering since the start of the Covid 19 pandemic. The session will be videotaped for future replay from the News & Events section of the Society’s website, sb-chs.org
North Coast Rep presents ‘An Evening with Groucho’
Award-winning actor/director Frank Ferrante re-creates his acclaimed New York and London stage portrayal celebrating one of America’s greatest comedians -- Groucho Marx. You will feel as though Groucho is back, as Ferrante sings, dances and performs classic routines in “An Evening with Groucho” on the North Coast Rep stage, May 2-3 at 7:30 p.m.
The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, stories, routines and songs including “Hooray for Captain Spalding,” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in magnificent Groucho style. Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film in a way that is “nothing short of masterful” (Chicago Tribune) and reacquaints the audience with the humor of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and Marx foil Margaret Dumont. “An Evening With Groucho” is a show perfect for all ages. Dreya Weber directs with accompaniment by Gerald Sternbach.
An Evening with Groucho will be performed at North Coast Repertory Theatre: 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach, 92075. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased at www.northcoastrep.org or at the Box Office: (858) 481-1055.
