• In local cemeteries, bees rise from among the dead (wamc.org) — Researchers from Cornell are studying huge populations of gentle, ground‑nesting bees at Webster Union Cemetery in Webster, showing how local graveyards can be surprising havens for pollinators. Their work aims to reassure residents that these bees are harmless and to discourage unnecessary extermination in cemeteries, backyards, and parks.
   

• LaRocco's late hit lifts Webster Schroeder in Class AA (13wham.com) — Webster Schroeder’s baseball team is headed to the state tournament after a dramatic 9-7 win over Canandaigua at ESL Ballpark, capped by Ryan LaRocco’s two-out, two-run hit in the seventh. The Warriors jumped out with six first-inning runs, lost the lead late, then answered back, with strong work on the mound from Max Caron helping secure the Class AA state qualifier victory.
   

• Small housing changes could ease Rochester crunch (democratandchronicle.com) — Housing advocates visiting Rochester say smaller, incremental changes like accessory units and reduced parking mandates could ease the region’s housing crunch without massive subsidies.
