Learn about the Southeast Bumble Bee Atlas project and contribute to conservation! Practice catching, photographing, and identifying bumble bees. You will learn more about the project and how you can participate with just a net and a camera. Meet at the Sandpiper Trail.
Anyone with an interest in bees and a desire to help them in a hands-on way is encouraged to attend—no prior experience needed! Nets provided.
Our community science project has led to 4500 observations of bumble bees including 3 threatened and endangered species.
