Bee Quest
Bee Quest, day 2 of the Bee biology and identification workshop with Bonnie Zand. July 20th, 2024 at Beaver Creek Provincial Park.
This two-day session will start in the classroom to provide you with identification strategies for common native bees, as well as in depth information on their nesting, overwintering, and flower preferences! The following day we will go on a “Bee Quest”, exploring local natural areas and observing bees and their habitat in the field. In the field we will discuss the use of iNaturalist and the NBSBC’s BC Bee Atlas as tools for supporting native bees. We will also look for examples of important native bee habitat features and discuss practical habitat conservation measures that community members can take.
