Most of us know honeybees for the delicious honey they create (and the occasional sting!). But for scientists, the non-native honeybee represents a potential threat to our native bumblebees and butterflies. Biology professor Dr. Richard Primack has been studying these insects at the Arboretum, observing flower visitors at over 600 plant species to determine if honeybees and native pollinators can co-exist. Just us for a research talk and discover the results of this years-long investigation.

This is an indoor lecture in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall.

Accessibility: The Hunnewell Lecture Hall is wheelchair-accessible. A wheelchair-accessible path up to the building is available to the left of the stairs.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.
