MBBI Training Series Part 2 - Bumble Bee Conservation in Michigan

The Michigan Bumble Bee Inventory (MBBI) was developed by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI) and Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) to inform a broader understanding of bumble bee biology, diversity, and population trends for species of bumble bees in Michigan. The MBBI is a statewide community science project where participants are encouraged to actively collect bumble bee occurrence data and associated habitat data to inform bumble bee conservation across the state. Participants in Michigan will not only be able to contribute to state-level bumble bee conservation but will have the opportunity to inform conservation of bumble bees throughout the US by collecting similar bumble bee and habitat data as in other regions of the US.

Community members of all backgrounds and skill level are encouraged to participate in the MBBI. Community collected scientific-quality data in Michigan will directly contribute to bumble bee conservation in addition to being an excellent opportunity to get out in nature and learn more about bumble bees and their habitats.
