About the event

Bumblebees are adored pollinators with a celebrity status and a fascinating home life. Like many other insects, the UK’s 24 bumblebee species are under threat from habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.

In this webinar, we will discover the hidden world of the humble bumble - their life cycle and family dynamics, how they sense the world, what species you can spot in Suffolk and what you can do to help them thrive again.

Dr Katy Chapman studied the vision and behaviour of bumblebees for her PhD at the University of Exeter and is fascinated by how animals use their senses to guide their behaviour. She currently works as Engagement Officer at Suffolk Wildlife Trust's beautiful Lackford Lakes reserve.
