2024 Training Dates

Nest Quest Overview of Project, Protocols, Sign Up, and More

June 30th, 2024 from 9-11am at Hyland Park Reserve (Bloomington, MN). 

Program leaders will review things like pacing, signs of bumble bee nesting, how to use the survey forms, bumble bee field ID, and answer any questions. Please come dressed in fieldwork appropriate clothing - long pants, boots (recommend tucking your pants into your socks), sun protection (long sleeves, sunscreen, hat), and bring plenty of water. 

We will meet outside of Richardson Nature Center (8737 E Bush Lake Rd, Bloomington, MN 55438) and make our way to the prairie together. 

We will be hosting an additional in-person training at a nest site once a nest is found. This will be scheduled last minute. Please keep an eye on your email and the website for updates!
