SUMMARY:Wild Ones: Bumble Bee Queens\, Nests\, and Spring Wildflowers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Jeff Karron\, Professor of Biology at UW-Milwaukee\n\nHosted by: Wild Ones Southwest/Wehr Chapter\n\nDr. Jeff Karron’s talk features striking slow-motion videography to highlight the interdependence of bumblebee queens and spring-flowering perennial plants. Early blooming native perennials provide the essential food resources queens need to survive\, establish nests\, and successfully raise their first brood. In turn\, many spring-flowering plants depend heavily on bumble bees for effective pollination and seed production. All video and photography featured in this presentation were filmed in high-quality prairie and woodland sites across southeastern Wisconsin. The talk highlights the importance of conserving and restoring early-season floral resources to sustain bumblebee populations.
