Park District News
Bee-N-Bee Hotels at the
Hoffman Park Community Gardens
Next time you visit the Community Gardens at
Hoffman Park, look for the Bee-N-Bee hotels! This
wonderful addition to the gardens is by Sarah
Michalak, a local Girl Scout who developed a
conservation/preservation project to help solitary bees.
Working with Park District staff and volunteer gardeners,
she selected a nice location at the Give Back Gardens
where the bee hotels could be observed and the bee’s
natural work could also help veggie production.
These Bee-N-Bee hotels cater to mason bees, who
are not known as well as the famous honey bee. These
bees live their whole life without a colony situation and
look for natural features, hollow reeds, and stems to lay
their eggs. This conservation effort is meant to bolster
the local mason bees as they are great pollinators in
our natural and agricultural environments.
Thank you to Sarah Michalak for her conservation/pres-
ervation project and her hard work and dedication on
building and providing the Bee-N-Bee hotels. This has
been a wonderful conservation partnership opportunity.
In Memoriam: Dr. Wayne Schennum
The Cary Park District lost a dear friend, Dr. Wayne Schennum,
who passed away in August.
Wayne was a conservationist, biologist, ecologist and naturalist.
He also was the site steward for the Carl & Claire Marie Sands
Main Street Prairie Nature Preserve for the past six years.
Prior to becoming the site steward Wayne had spent his time at
Sands Main Street collecting data on all types of plant and insect
species located within the prairie. This work was instrumental in
helping the Cary Park District develop a 10 year Vegetation Man-
agement and Enhancement Plan for the entire 80 acre site.
Wayne also donated his time to be on site during a Phase 1 Ar-
cheological survey conducted at Sands Main Street Prairie. The
Illinois Nature Preserves Commission required a trained botanist to
be on site during archaeology work to ensure that shovel probes
would not adversely impact the high-quality gravel prairie.
Wayne graciously donated his time to fill that role in order for the
survey to proceed. Wayne worked side by side with the team to
ensure that no threatened or endangered prairie plants were
harmed or excessive soil was disturbed.
