Where do Bumble Bee Queens Overwinter? Participate in Queen Quest This Fall to Help Us Find Out!

While we know a lot about what types of flowers bumble bees like, we know very little about where these new queens go to overwinter. Queen Quest returns this fall in an effort to gain information about where bumble bee queens overwinter. The official blitz date is Saturday, October 16, 2021, but you can search before or after this date.
