The Buzz about Bees...Thanks to UW-Madison

Special thanks to Jade Kochanski, one of the four principal investigators from UW-Madison, who combined to complete a three-year study entitled “Assessment of Floral Resource Abundance, Pollinator Networks, and Implications for Bumble Bees in Restored Tallgrass Prairies.” 
16 sites with conservation easements within 100 miles of Madison that were 10-15 years into their restoration were surveyed with 7-8 visits done to each site. The ABC had the most Golden Northern Bumble Bees of all sites surveyed and tied for the most or in the top three is three other bee species.  The full report is below.
