Bee-lieving in Tomorrow: The Future of Native Bee Science

Wednesday, November 13, 2024
9:30 AM – 12:30 PM MST
Location: Phoenix Convention Center, 127 B, PCC

Encouraging populations of native bees within agricultural systems is crucial for food production and ecosystem health. This symposium will highlight methods of working with native bees and assessing impacts on their health, populations, and ecosystems. We aim to facilitate collaboration among researchers and stakeholders to address challenges facing native bees.
