Rice County 4-H Building (1900 Fairgrounds Drive #17, Faribault, MN 55021)
We will host an in-person training to prepare volunteers for the 2023 MN Bumble Bee Atlas data collection season. Program leaders will review the survey process, demonstrate the steps to enter your data into the atlas, and answer questions. We will also give additional instruction on the special care needed to survey in grids that contain currently known endangered rusty patched bumble bee zones. Surveys will begin in mid-June, so this is a great way to make sure you are ready!
