Mary Gardiner: Beneficial Insect Biodiversity: What It Is and Why It Matters 

So glad it was recorded so I could watch when I had available time. The information presented had many facts useful to me in my garden "attempts.". Thank you!

The best and most informative hour that I have spent this week! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for offering the recording for those who were unable to join the live presentation. Great information.

Since hubby now works from home frequently my computer access on Fridays is unavailable. So glad the recordings are made available!

Thanks for recording your presentation. I enjoyed and gained great information that can be passed on to other people. Education is so important!

Mary I'm so glad to have gained such great information and although I watched after I so enjoyed the class. I only wish everyone could be aware of the info I hope to be able to reach more people in my community and wish this info could reach the masses. Again thank you for your great presentation!

Excellent and informative presentation. As a Master Gardener in Itasca County, Minnesota I have new information to use myself and share with others in my community. Also appreciate being able to view recording online after presentation.

Thanks Mary and OSU. This was so good. Many levels of appeal for a new horticulturist and wild ones member.

Thank you for a great presentation. Very useful. Glad it was recorded since at times I may miss the Friday presentation.

So glad it was recorded. Marsha Duling

Thank you so much for an excellent program and for posting it so that it can be viewed at a later date.

Thank you! Missed out on the start of the series. Appreciate this recorded access. Day-long snowstorm meant day-long shoveling.

Excellent recording! Thanks!

Good information. Thank you. Also, thank you for recording so that I could watch when it was best for me, much appreciated.

I tried to jump in 6 minutes after the class started & was never admitted. So glad it was recorded!! Good info!

Really enjoyed your presentation! Well done! Loved how you put everything together.

Thanks for the info. I will share with friends

Thank you for a great presentation, I am unable to watch live, so it is great to watch the recording.

thank you. I think that native plants will be my niche in the Master gardener realm..this lecture is a great first start!

These insects are so cute!! Thank you for this great information and I may actually re-watch it later to help it sink in.

Mary Gardiner is awesome. Plant diverse native species in your yard to encourage all these beneficial insects!

Mary, Thank you for your informative and interesting presentation on beneficial insects. I hope you do offer a class on presentation skills.

I've had great success controlling Japanese beetles by going out in the morning when the temperature is cooler and they're more sluggish. Take a small container filled with a bit of water mixed with dish washing soap to break the surface tension, then put the container under the beetle and just knock them into the water. If you wait till the afternoon when the air has warmed up they'll fly away as soon as you get close.

Excellent presentation!

Excellent information. Thanks so much for the additional resources.

Wonderful info and I encourage sharing as a great way to encourage folks to leave the bugs alone!

fascinating! thx! from Richmond VA

If you are interested in learning more about the fantastic dung beetle, check out Marcus Byrne. He has a Ted talk that is super fascinating!

Loved it. May watch it again.
