A bumblebee’s a bumblebee, right? Yes, and no. In Illinois, there are twelve species of bumblebees, collectively known by their genus name Bombus. They play a critical role in the ecology of our prairies and woodlands. In this presentation, you’ll learn about bumblebee diversity, ecological niches, and efforts to preserve and protect this important group of pollinators. We’ll begin with an indoor presentation, then head out to the prairie to find different species at work. Choose either of the two sessions.Tuesday, July 23; 6:30-8 p.m.
