" Adventures In Bumble Bee Research & Conservation "

The Woodard lab at UC Riverside combines experimental work with bumble bees with broader efforts to conserve wild bees across the US and beyond. This presentation will highlight some of this work, including organismal research on the factors mediating ovarian development in bumble bee queens. Additional, broader topics covered will include the status of wild bee conservation in the US and recent efforts to mobilize the wild bee research and conservation communities to more effectively study, monitor, and protect wild bees, despite these chaotic and troubling times for biodiversity conservation.
