Description
The development and implementation of bumble BEE identification workshops and a rusty patched bumble BEE (bombus affinis) field season kick-off meeting provide much needed guidance and structure to rusty patched bumble BEE research and regulatory survey efforts. The rusty patched bumble BEE field kick off meeting is an annual one-day event (2022 - 2025) attended by qualified surveyors and state and federal agency personnel. The meeting focuses on survey and reporting requirement changes and updates, clarifies criteria for habitat interpretations, and disseminates regionally specific rusty patched bumble BEE information. The kick-off meeting also introduces preferred rusty patched bumble BEE survey and documentation methods and provides an open communication forum where professionals working with the species can ask questions and prompt discussions. Bumble BEE identification workshops comprise 2.5-day events addressing bumble BEE identification, natural history, biology, and taxonomy. Three bumble BEE identification workshops are conducted annually (2022-2025) with up to 20 participants per workshop. Each event comprises one day of bumble BEE identification instruction (laboratory setting), one day of collecting specimens and assessing bumble BEE habitat (field setting), and a half day focused on synthesizing the workshop and addressing outstanding bumble BEE identification or habitat assessment issues and questions. Training for bumble BEE identification and endangered species act guidance regarding pollinators is relatively lacking throughout much of the great lakes watershed, thus a rusty patched bumble BEE kick off meeting prior to and bumble BEE workshops throughout the rusty patched bumble BEE field season significantly supports the great lakes restoration initiative's and U.S. Fish & wildlife service's overall conservation objectives and addresses the need for identification and endangered species act compliance guidance particularly regarding the federally endangered rusty patched bumble BEE.
