This 2-hour workshop will prepare community scientists and agency biologists to participate in the Missouri, Nebraska, and Great Plains (KS, ND, SD) Bumble Bee Atlas projects in 2025.
During this webinar, we will provide clear guidance on how to participate in the Atlas and discuss priorities for the 2025 field season. The training will cover how to conduct your own survey, where and when to survey, what supplies you'll need, and how to submit your data. We will also discuss how to differentiate bumble bees from the other insects you'll encounter in the field.
Reminder: This webinar will serve as the last of our two-part training series. Before attending this webinar, please attend or watch part one of the training series, "Ecology and Conservation of Bumble Bees.” If you were not able to make it to the part one webinar, you can view the recording posted to the Xerces YouTube channel or to the online training portal.
This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
This webinar is intended for Bumble Bee Atlas volunteers, but anyone with an interest in the topic is welcome!
This workshop is supported by Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, the Missouri Department of Conservation, and the University of Missouri.
