Prescribed fire bolsters wild bee populations, and growing season burns might result in higher bee diversity than stands burned during the dormant season.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the benefits to wild bees and other pollinators of applying prescribed fire, especially during the growing season.
Describe the role of pollinators in global pollination and ecosystem health.
Assess how stand attributes influence bee community structure.
