Western Bumble Bee Identification for Bumble Bee Atlas Volunteers

Oct 11: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PT

This workshop will introduce attendees to bumble bee (Bombus spp.) identification along the Pacific Coast of the U.S. (including Idaho). While this workshop is geared toward Bumble Bee Atlas volunteers in the Pacific Northwest and California, we welcome anyone interested in learning more about bumble bee identification. We will cover the basics of bumble bee anatomy, and introduce you to each of the species you may encounter throughout the region. For each species we’ll include ID tips, and what is currently known about their preferred habitats and host plants.

The workshop will be co-taught by Leif Richardson and Rich Hatfield.
