Mountain States Bumble Bee Atlas Training Workshop - Elko, NV

Join us for this training workshop to learn the what, why, and how of the Mountain States Bumble Bee Atlas in Nevada!

The first part of the day will be spent indoors in the Nevada Department of Wildlife Conference Room. In this classroom setting you'll learn about bumble bee diversity, life cycle, and conservation issues, along with details of the Bumble Bee Atlas protocol. After lunch, we'll head to a nearby field site (exact location TBD) for some hands-on practice. You'll be able to practice catching, photographing, and releasing bumble bees. Survey equipment (nets, vials) will be provided for you to use during the training, but it would be helpful to bring your own camera (cell phone cameras work!).

Lunch is on your own. Please bring a packed lunch or plan to stop for lunch on the way to the field site. Come prepared for the day with water, snacks, good walking shoes, sun protection, and materials for taking notes.
