On Tuesday, May 6th, Nature PEI’s monthly meeting at 7:30PM will feature a presentation on Bumble Bees of Prince Edward Island, with Janelle MacLeod, at Beaconsfield Carriage House, corner of West and Kent Streets. Entitled “Buzzing With Purpose: A Study of Bumble Bees on Prince Edward Island”, Janelle will explain the different types of bees found on PEI, zero in on the bumble bee species present, and why knowing more about them is important. Attendees will learn about her study methods and results, future study opportunities, and how anyone can help native bees.
Janelle MacLeod holds a Bachelor of Wildlife Conservation from UPEI and has a strong passion for pollinators, insects, and the natural world. She and her co-authors recently published their work focusing on bumble bees of PEI.

The meeting begins at 7:30 pm with a sharing of nature observations and a raffle break. Janelle will begin her presentation at 8 pm. It will also be live-streamed on our Facebook page.
