Heather Holm is a pollinator conservationist and award-winning author of four books: Pollinators of Native Plants (2014), Bees (2017), Wasps (2021), and Common Native Bees of the Eastern United States (2022). Both Bees and Wasps have won multiple book awards including the American Horticultural Society Book Award (1018 and 2022 respectively). Heather’s expertise includes the interactions between native pollinators and native plants. She participated in volunteer ecological landscape restoration projects.
