Research Team Tracks Arctic Pollinators
Biology students partner with local communities to study the health of native bumblebees across Alaska.
Field teams deployed low‑impact monitoring stations to record bee activity during peak bloom periods.
Community partners helped identify habitat changes tied to temperature swings and late frosts.
Preliminary findings show shifts in foraging ranges; the team will publish open data at the end of the season.
The project also provides paid research opportunities for undergraduates in ecology and data analysis.
