Monarchs and Milkweeds - Social

Mike Wallace, aka MikeTheBeeGuy, is a pollinator enthusiast living in Grass Valley CA.  He became interested in supporting pollinator species while living in Santa Clara County. In the Spring of 2015, he became aware of a complete absence of honeybees in his yard.  

With some research, Mike learned that honeybee and monarch butterfly populations were dwindling at alarming rates. Monarchs were on the verge of extinction.  Mike took this as a call to action.    

Since then he has not only become a hobbyist beekeeper, he is also a staunch advocate for the support of the monarch butterfly. With study and experimentation he devised a process for successful germination of milkweed, the plant which monarch’s rely upon for reproduction, and without which they will become extinct. Mike has a large following on Facebook with his Nevada County Monarchs and Milkweed group page.

He hosts hands-on workshops every winter to teach others how to successfully propagate milkweed, providing everything needed including all (4) varieties of Nevada County Native Milkweed, trays, 6-pack inserts & even the special soil & sand his techniques require. Mike enjoys mentoring and being a resource to the community.
