Nebraska Bumble Bee Atlas Training at Ponca State Park

Join the Bumble Bee Atlas for a field day at Ponca State Park!
The Nebraska Bumble Bee Atlas is a statewide community science project actively tracking and conserving our native bumble bees. Anyone is welcome to join the Atlas—no prior experience is needed. This field training will be a great way to learn how to use an insect net, practice identifying and photographing bees, collect data according to project methods, and meet fellow participants.
Registration is required to attend, so be sure to sign up at www.bumblebeeatlas.org/pages/ne-bba-ponca-field-day.
Accessibility: This event will take place outdoors. During the first hour of this event, we will be walking along trails and through tallgrass prairie collecting bumble bees. During the second hour, we will gather around tables to practice bee ID. Boots or close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen, and tick prevention are recommended.
