Bumble Bees

Bumble bees are charismatic and easily recognizable pollinators thanks to their large size, loud buzz, and distinctive color patterns. They play an incredibly important role in sustaining the health of our environment by pollinating flowers in natural and urban areas, and by contributing to successful harvests on farms. The Intermountain West is home to over 20 different bumble bee species, at least 20% of which are undergoing population declines. Join us on March 25 to learn more about these awesome pollinators. We'll learn about their unique life cycle and adaptations, threats they're facing, and actions anyone can take to help. We'll end our time together by hearing how community science volunteers across the country are gathering data to aid conservation efforts through Bumble Bee Atlas projects
