About the event
Learn about Wisconsin’s diversity of bees, what they do, and how we can improve their environment and aid in their conservation. The session will also introduce you to a Wisconsin-based community science project called “WiBee” (we-bee), where through the use of a simple smartphone app you can learn to observe bees and collect data that will be used to better understand their abundance and patterns. Weather permitting, we will go outside and make bee observations and use WiBee. Please download the WiBee app. in advance of this workshop.
