The Winter Speaker Series returns. We hope you can join us for these fascinating presentations!

Sessions take place on Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. The series is hosted by the Friends of the Living Prairie Museum over Zoom.

Our presentation this evening is The Wild Bees of Manitoba featuring entomologist Dr. Jason Gibbs from the University of Manitoba.

This session will be recorded and made available exclusively for members of the Friends of the Living Prairie Museum to watch at a later date.

Bees are recognized as critically important pollinators. But how many bees do we actually recognize? Manitoba’s diverse bee fauna will be reviewed, including but not limited to leafcutter bees, sweat bees, cuckoo bees and oil bees.

Please consider selecting registration with donation at checkout. Suggested donation is $3 per person. We have a very generous community, but our donation box does not see people much these days due to COVID. Donations go towards covering honorarium fees for our speakers, special projects such as prairie seed propagation and pollinator conservation, student prairie technician wages, etc.
