About the Event
Join us for webinar to learn about The Native Bee Society of British Columbia's (NBSBC) efforts to train local bee experts (Master Melittologists) to map the diversity, distribution, and floral partners of BC's bee populations through the Master Melittologist Program and the BC Bee Atlas!
The NBSBC launched the BC Bee Atlas as a pilot program in 2021 with just a few volunteers. They now have 65 Apprentice-level Master Melittologists that have received training through the Oregon State University Extension Service Master Melittologist Program and are contributing observations to the Bee Atlas database.
Bonnie Zand, the BC instructor for the Master Melittologist Program, will introduce the BC Bee Atlas, how training through the Master Melittologist Program works, and the importance of understanding bee populations and their floral hosts in order to protect Canada's bees and their unique ecosystems.
