The Humble Bumblebee

Presented by Sheena Sidhu

Today the Coastside Land Trust welcomed Dr. Sheena Sidhu, renowned biologist and stewardship scientist at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, who took us on a journey into the fascinating world of the "Humble Bumble Bee". She explored basic bee identification (including how to spot a queen bee) and how these remarkable pollinators are perfectly suited for our coastal climate and essential for our pumpkin fields. Dr. Sidhu also examined their annual cycle, nesting behaviors, and recent conservation efforts at both the state and federal levels. We hope you enjoy this recording, and the many resources she shared with us today.
