Bumble Bees of British Columbia
Speaker: Syd Cannings
About the presentation: A short introduction to bumble bees, the bumble bees of British Columbia, and specifically some common bumblers of the Okanagan. Some species are at risk, and are listed under the federal Species-at-Risk Act. Syd will discuss the declines of these species and the probable causes of the declines, and what we can do to change things. Many of you may participate in bird monitoring programs, and naturalists can help monitor the status of bees as well.
LECTURE - Syd Cannings
