Topic: "Native Bee Conservation in Vermont & Beyond" presented by Leif Richardson a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, from the Gund Institute at UVM. Vermont has 250+ species of native bees, many of which are important pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. These wild bee species may be threatened by land use change, pesticides, disease, climate change, and competition with honey bees. Leif will discuss how we know when insect species are of conservation concern, and recent efforts to protect declining bee pollinators in Vermont and beyond. $5 suggested donation at the door.
