The in-person attendees at BeeCon 2023. They were joined by hundreds of people online as well!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BeeCon 2023 was a hybrid event that brought brings together bee biologists on a global scale to discuss bees, collection methods, pollination, genomics, conservation and behaviour. This year\u2019s BeeCon welcomed bee researchers and community members from over 30 countries spanning six continents. BeeCon took place on Oct. 12 (via Zoom Webinar) and on Oct 13 with an in-person option at 快播视频 (Life Sciences Building, Room 105, First Floor) as well as a virtual option.\u00a0More details including the schedule, a full program, and location details are posted below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Kevin<\/strong><\/strong> Matteson, \"Supporting Pollinator Conservation in Cities\u201d <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Kevin Matteson is an ecologist and pollination biologist with a research focus on urbanized landscapes. For his doctoral research conducted at Fordham University, Kevin utilized GIS and insect sampling to evaluate landscape factors influencing the diversity of bees and butterflies in community gardens of East Harlem and the Bronx. His postdoctoral work took him to Chicago where he was Co-PI on a multi-year NSF-funded research project on pollination limitation in urban landscapes. Kevin is currently interested in community-based conservation efforts in cities and, through his work with Project Dragonfly at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, he is a passionate advocate of participatory and inquiry-based graduate education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As urbanization increases and more humans live in cities, it is important to determine what pollinators exist in urban areas and how we can support them. Drawing on over two decades of research in New York City and Chicago, Kevin will share research insights on what plants benefit urban pollinators, how the developed landscape of cities can be optimized to increase bees and other beneficial insects, the role of citizen science, and more. Ultimately, cities provide a fascinating opportunity to conserve wild bees and other pollinators while also increasing ecological exposure to these amazing species with which we share the urban landscape. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
