Speaker: Jenan El-Hifnawi

Ask A Bumble Bee! Exploring Bumble Bee Floral Preference

This session explores the “Ask A Bumble Bee” (AABB) program; a citizen science initiative dedicated to understanding bumble bee floral preference. In addition to learning how to participate in the program, attendees will hear some of our latest research findings; ultimately walking away with practical information for creating and observing bee-friendly gardens!

Jenan is a Maryland native and local ecology enthusiast! After graduating from UMD with a bachelor’s in biology, she was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship to fund her Masters degree at UMD. She now is working towards this degree, exploring the impacts of the ice age on the evolution of various South American bee species. She also is the coordinator of the program we will discuss today; Ask A Bumble Bee!
