Training workshops are for anyone who has a curiosity for bumble bees and flowers, and an interest in contributing to an important community science project that will provide a better understanding of the status of Nebraska's native bumble bees.
Update: Atlas Events and the Coronavirus
19 May 2020
During these uncertain times, we hope you are safe and well. Because it is more important than ever to foster a sense of community, we are working to offer ways to maintain our connection through our mutual respect for nature, while still practicing safe physical distancing.
As of now, we intend for the Nebraska Bumble Bee Atlas to move forward with the 2020 survey season, albeit in a slightly different way than originally planned. We had planned to deliver four workshops across Nebraska this May and June. Following current health parameters, we have decided to switch to offering workshops virtually using Zoom. We will keep you up to date as the season progresses, and as you survey please follow federal and local public health guidelines in response to the coronavirus.
Thank you for your patience.
