The University of Wisconsin has several active research groups with projects focused on bumble bees – ranging from basic ecology of nesting behavior and foraging patterns, to applied research into the efficacy of bumble bees as pollinators of crops. Below we profile some of the cutting-edge work led by researchers from Entomology, Integrative Biology, Botany, and the UW Arboretum.
