Bee Short Course for Community Scientists

Free, monthly webinars to build skills of community scientists interested in wild bee conservation. All sessions are at 10AM EASTERN on the third Friday of the month, May - November. The same link will allow you to join each session.

A collaborative effort from: the OSU Department of Entomology, The Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens and The US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network (RCN).

This program is funded in part by a USDA/NIFA Integrated Pest Management Pollinator Health grant, with support from Davey Tree Expert Company. Many thanks to our funders!

Coordinated by Denise Ellsworth, OSU Department of Entomology

Please note: the focus of this series is wild bee conservation, not honey bee management.
