Event Held at Riveredge Nature Center, 4458 County Hwy Y, Saukville, WI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Jeff Karron\u2019s upcoming talk features striking slow-motion videography to highlight the interdependence of bumble bee queens and spring-flowering perennial plants.\u00a0 Early-blooming native perennials provide the essential food resources queens need to survive, establish nests, and successfully raise their first brood.\u00a0 In turn, many spring flowering plants depend heavily on bumble bees for effective pollination and seed production.\u00a0 All video and photography featured in this presentation were filmed in high-quality woodland and prairie sites across Southeastern Wisconsin.\u00a0 The talk highlights the importance of conserving and restoring early-season floral resources to sustain bumble bee populations.<\/p>\n
