About this event
Bumblebees are charismatic garden visitors with amazing adaptations! Though common and instantly recognizable, their lives are surprisingly different to the well-known honeybee. During this online lecture, Clare will discuss how to find and identify the most common bumblebee species. She'll also share why many species are disappearing and how we can help in our own home gardens.
Intended Audience: Adult All Levels: Suitable for all learners, this program will provide a variety of content. Program providers will answer both introductory and more advanced questions.
