SUMMARY:Bumble Bee Atlas Ecology And Conservation
DESCRIPTION:12:00 PM – 1:30 PM PT / 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM MT / 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM CT / 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET \nThe nearly fifty species of bumble bees in North America are highly efficient pollinators of our natural areas and farm fields\, making them essential to ecosystem function. Unfortunately\, substantial declines in widespread and formerly common species have been reported. Between climate change\, the widespread use of pesticides\, habitat loss\, and the amplification and spread of diseases from commercial bees\, bumble bees face an uphill challenge to recover from observed declines\, and repopulate areas where they’ve been lost. In this webinar we will discuss bumble bee ecology\, how that interacts with ongoing conservation issues\, and what we can all do to help. The good news is that we can all contribute. Beyond participating in our Bumble Bee Atlas projects\, protecting\, creating\, and restoring habitat is the key. We’ll discuss how to provide critical aspects of habitat to benefit each stage of the life cycle\, whether you have a small porch\, or manage several acres. \nWhile this webinar is directed toward our Bumble Bee Atlas volunteers\, anyone is welcome to join. The webinar will be led by the bumble bee conservation crew at the Xerces Society: Katie Lamke\, Leif Richardson\, Genevieve Pugesek\, Molly Martin\, Michelle Toshack\, Amy Dolan and Rich Hatfield\, who will be joined by Dr. Elaine Evans and Elise Bernstein of the University of Minnesota. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on the Xerces YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
