| Bumble Boosters is a cooperative project of the University of Nebraska Department of Entomology, the Lincoln Public Schools Science Focus Program, and the Folsom Children's Zoo. It is Partially Funded by a grant from the Nebraska Lottery's Educational Innovation Fund. The goal of the project is to create a community of learners to conduct authentic research on bumble bees in Nebraska. A unique aspect of this project is that the participating schools will make important contributions to our knowledge of bumble bee distribution, abundance, attractiveness of artificial nesting domiciles, the effect of excluding pollinators from native habitat and cultivated flora, and plant species visited by bumble bees. Project results will be published to help guide Nebraskans who wish to provide nesting habitats and forage plants for these amazing and beautiful pollinating insects. | |
