Episode Synopsis

I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of "Science Scope", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, "Citizen Science" written by Jill Nugent.  She wrote an article entitled, "'Participate in Pollinator Science This Season with Bumble Bee Watch." Spring and summer serve as a rewarding time for students to survey pollinator biodiversity.  In fact, the month of June is known as pollinator month, making this a natural time of the year to incorporate pollinator science in your classroom.  Bumble Bee Watch is a collaborative project focused on tracking North American Bumble Bees.  To learn more, visit the project website at: https://www.bumblebeewatch.org
