Bumble Bee Atlas presents “Minnesota & Iowa Bumble Bee Atlas 2025 Training Webinar.”

This 2-hour workshop will prepare community scientists and agency biologists to participate in the Minnesota Bumble Bee Atlas and Iowa Bumble Bee Atlas projects in 2025.

During this webinar, we will provide clear guidance on how to participate in the Atlas and discuss priorities for the 2025 field season. The training will cover how to conduct your own survey, where and when to survey, what supplies you'll need, and how to submit your data. We will also discuss how to differentiate bumble bees from the other insects you'll encounter in the field.

This webinar will serve as the last of our two-part training series. Before attending this webinar, please watch Part 1, "Ecology and Conservation of Bumble Bees.” You can register for the Part 1 webinar through our events page (www.bumblebeeatlas.org/pages/events).
