MASTER'S RESEARCH
NATIVE BUMBLE BEE HEALTH
During my master's program at UW-Madison, I conducted fieldwork with both common and threatened bumble bee species to inform land management practices that could be sensitive to the needs of native pollinators. My thesis investigated the impacts of prescribed fire on bumble bee communities and the floral resources they depend upon. You can watch my thesis presentation, which explores the connection between prescribed fire research and Indigenous land sovereignty, here.
