The Fascinating World of Bees: From Novel Monitoring Tools to Landscape-Level Stressors

In this webinar, Dr. Laura Figueroa will present on the importance of pollinators worldwide, factors that influence pollinator communities, and novel monitoring tools (including non-lethal AI based approaches), for monitoring pollinators in changing landscapes. She will present work on bee communities in solar facilities and other human modified environments.

This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
