Alex Wikstrom, owner of Wasp Away!, is looking for anyone interested in volunteering to survey bumble bee nest populations and behavior. Alex is interested in doing this throughout WA so I’m reaching out to all of you! Another volunteer opportunity would be educating the public about nest relocation options instead of killing bumblebee nests that are in an inconvenient area.
Please see the Relocation and Tagging plan below to learn more about the surveying, if you feel that you may be interested in volunteering for Alex.
