Citizen Science: Bumble Bee Watch on Sunday, May 6, from 1 – 2:30 pm. Bumble bees, like many other bees, have been experiencing range and abundance declines due to pesticide use, spread of diseases by commercial pollinators, habitat destruction and climate change. Measuring that decline is difficult to do on a large scale, which is where you come in! Join us today as we hike approximately one mile to look for bumblebees in the preserve and learn how you can participate in Bumble Bee Watch, a collaborative effort to track and conserve North America’s bumble bees. Please be advised, this citizen science program is weather-dependent and may require last-minute rescheduling. Ages 8+. Free! Location: Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center, 195 New Karner Road, Albany, NY . Fee: Free! Registration required. Please sign up by calling 518-456-0655 or visit www.AlbanyPineBush.org/events.
