Beyond Blooms: Enhancing Nesting Resources for Ground-Nesting Bee Conservation

Fredenburg will investigate the effects of urbanization and surface soil features on ground-nesting bee nest activity in urban and rural habitats. Manipulating the surface soil to attract ground-nesting bees will experimentally test the nesting habitat feature preferences of ground-nesting bees. Comparing sites in urban and rural habitats will provide evidence of urbanization’s effects on the unique bee community. Fredenburg’s study will provide information on how the species can be better conserved in areas where nesting requirements may be limited.
