June 11, 2021 During graduation set up, our facilities team discovered solitary ground bees in part of the general seating area for graduation. Staff consulted with the health department to determine what - if any - action needed to be taken. Solitary ground bees are non-aggressive and are beneficial to the environment, therefore we will not be spraying anything in the area and graduation will take place exactly as planned.
There will be signs in the area alerting people about the bees. Attendees should consider wearing closed-toed shoes this evening as a precaution.
