[Pollinator] Counting Bumble Bees in the Peace Garden

[Ashley Minnerath]

Greetings, 

Check out this article in the Southwest Minneapolis Patch:

"Counting Bumble Bees in the Peace Garden"

By Marsha Trainer

Elaine Evans got stung three times on Sunday, but didn't complain a bit. A
bumble bee researcher, it's all in a day's work as she visited Lyndale Park
<http://www.minneapolisparks.org/default.asp?PageID=4&parkid=347>  to
monitor the bee population in and around the Peace Garden
<http://southwestminneapolis.patch.com/listings/peace-garden> .

She was drawn to the park after a citizen snapped a photo of a bumble bee
there and sent it to The Xerces Society <http://www.xerces.org/>  as part of
an effort to document declining bee species in the area.
