Five Amazing Places & Their Bumble Bees Thursday, February 12 6:30 – 8:00 PM

This is an overview of my 2024 trip out west to hike and hunt bumble bees, with stops in Ohio, Illinois, South Dakota, and Wyoming. It examines the state parks and wilderness areas visited and some biology of the bumble bees found. Instructor: Dave Hobbins is a retired UMFK forestry professor who got involved as a citizen scientist for the Maine Bumble Bee Atlas in 2017.  He has been hooked on Bumble bees ever since. He lives with his wife in Fort Kent and is a board member of the St. John Valley Senior College.
