Bumble Bee Brigade Train the Trainer

Description

Are you interested in learning more about the bumble bees in your backyard? Have you heard that Wisconsin is home to the federally endangered rusty patched bumble bee?

Help the DNR learn more about bees across the state by getting involved in the Bumble Bee Brigade (B3), and learn how you can help teach others. The class will be held at White Cedar Nature Center in Peninsula State Park.

Please accept the calendar invite if you’re able to attend and allow for registration tracking.

This 4-hour training (with 30 min lunch) will cover:

• Part 1: Basics. We’ll talk about what this community science project is, how to get involved, and bee biology basics. We’ll also cover some planting recommendations for bees.

• Part 2: A bee identification activity

• Part 3: An outdoor pollinator walk and photography

• Part 4: Spread the word! An Educator’s Guide to Giving Pollinator Presentations to your friends, family, and community
