Title: Flower visitors to the plants of Newton and the Arnold Arboretum: Can honeybees and native insects coexist?
Speaker: Dr. Richard Primack
Summary: Non-native honeybees represent a potential threat to our native bees, butterflies and other insects. For the past four years, BU Plant Ecology professor Dr. Richard Primack and his colleagues have been studying flower visitors at over 600 plant species at the Arnold Arboretum and in Newton to determine if honeybees and native pollinators can co-exist.
NOTICE: We will be holding hybrid meetings to accommodate COVID-19 precautions and audience members from around the world. You can join our Zoom meeting by clicking here.
For those able to attend, we will have an informal dinner at 6:00 pm at Cambridge Common Restaurant with the speaker, followed by our formal meeting (7:30 - 9:00 pm) in room MCZ101A of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (there will be signs to help direct). The meeting will begin with club announcements, followed by a 60-minute presentation by the invited speaker and Q&A. Membership is open to amateur and professional entomologists - that means everyone!
