Conserving Bumble Bees Through the Bumble Bee Atlas (via zoom)

Bumble bees are a valuable group of pollinators but they are in decline along with so many other groups of insects. A growing community science effort, however, is hoping to reverse this trend. The Xerces Society’s Bumble Bee Atlas is a program seeking to better understand the habitats in which bumble bees live. Katie Lamke, an endangered species conservation biologist with Xerces Society, will explain the plight of bumble bees, summarize this important program, and make you want to get involved.
