Mario Luppino | Bumble Bee Parasites and Conservation

The Pacific Northwest is home to at least 30 species of native bumble bees, which are crucial pollinators of both wild and cultivated flowering species. However, like many native bee species, bumble bee populations are under threat due to various factors, including pesticides, habitat loss, diseases, and parasites. This presentation will review bumble bee behavior, the connection to their environment, and their parasites. The strategies presented can serve as practical guidance for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers working to protect bumble bee populations. https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/produc...
