Join the Xerces Society and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for an evening to learn about bumble bees! This webinar is part one of two and is intended to train volunteers to participate in the new Great Plains Bumble Bee Atlas taking place in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas.

In this session, we will dive into the world of bumble bees and explore their life cycle, how they interact with the landscape, and detail their value as pollinators. Additionally, we will talk about the many threats contributing to bumble bee decline and ways to help conserve them. This webinar will prepare you for the second part of this workshop.

Based in the Midwest, her main role is to coordinate and engage people in community science projects—the Missouri Bumble Bee Atlas and the Nebraska Bumble Bee Atlas— that help track and conserve bumble bees. Katie earned a bachelor’s degree from Humboldt State University (Environmental Biology) and a master's degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Entomology), where she focused on wild bee diversity and their floral associations within Tallgrass prairies. Katie has both a skillset and passion for identifying wild bees that has been professionally developed for species in the Northern Plains. She is enthusiastic about pollinator ecology and is committed to raising awareness about the conservation of wild bees. Rich Hatfield (Senior Endangered Species Conservation Biologist, Bumble Bee Conservation Lead @Xerces Society) Rich is a senior conservation biologist for the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and has been leading the Pacific Northwest Bumble Bee Atlas since 2018. He has authored several publications on bumble bees, including a set of management guidelines entitled Conserving Bumble Bees. He serves as the Red List Authority for the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Bumble Bee Specialist Group and has taught bumble bee management and identification courses throughout the U.S. In addition to his work with bumble bees, Rich has investigated native bee pollination in agricultural systems in the Central Valley of California, and studied endangered butterflies in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and throughout the Pacific Northwest. When not at work, Rich is often off exploring the wonders of the Pacific Northwest with his family.
