Tricolored BumblebeeEver wonder about the bees bombing around a meadow during a walk? Historically Vermont has had a variety of bumblebees, the genus Bombus, but many are in decline. Like birds, they are ‘messengers of environmental health.”
The Vermont Bumblebee Survey began in 2012. Sara Zahendra of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies will give a lively presentation on what bumblebees are, how the survey is going, and why their function as pollinators is so important.
