Join Michigan State University's Bee Urban Growers (BUG) Project for a free online event providing training for anyone interested in learning how to collect community science data on bees in urban places! This event is open to the public and will cover bee sampling methods, an overview of bees native to the region, and ways the general public can contribute to scientific research. It will also introduce a new iNaturalist community science project "Urban Bees of the Great Lakes Region," which aims to use citizen observations to better support urban bees. This webinar will help interested participants get involved in this project and explore our city dwelling native bees.
