This program will start with a general introduction to insects; to learn what distinguishes bees from other insects. We will examine some specimens and talk about insect life cycles and where they go in winter. Finally, we will take a short walk to look for overwintering insects around the BNC.
Led by native bee enthusiast, Kalimah Mustafa-Widberg (she/they). Kalimah has been sharing their love of bees by educating the public since 2014 when a bee research project sparked a passion that has lasted nearly a decade! While she truly loves all insects, she is especially interested in the foraging and nesting preferences of the at-risk bees native to Northeastern United States.
