SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Lorquin Scholars
DESCRIPTION:Register for the Zoom meeting here. \n6:30 pm: We’ll spotlight a California native plant that’s been absolutely buzzing with activity lately! Then\, we’ll then turn the mic over to community members who’ve been out photographing bees to share what they’ve discovered. If you’d like to participate\, please upload your photos using this Google Form.  We’ll share your photos on screen\, and you can unmute to tell us a bit about the bee you found. \n \n7:00 pm: Cultivating Curiosity: Inspiring the Next Generation with the Lorquin Scholars \n\n\n\nCole Cramer and Connor Hsu are high school juniors with a shared passion for entomology and insect biodiversity. They are the co-founders and co-leaders of the Lorquin Scholars\, the youth chapter of the Lorquin Entomological Society\, founded in 2023 to encourage young people to study and appreciate insects. Both attended the UC Davis Bio Boot Camp for three summers and have become active youth leaders in entomology through outreach\, education\, and hands-on field experience.\n\nThrough the Lorquin Scholars\, Cole and Connor organize hikes\, insect surveys\, and educational outreach programs that introduce younger students and families throughout Southern California to the important roles insects play in ecosystems. Their work includes teaching insect identification\, field collecting techniques\, and science communication\, while helping foster curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.\n\nIn addition to leading outreach efforts\, they conduct independent fieldwork\, maintain curated entomology collections\, and explore insect diversity through direct experience. They have also attended national professional conferences and represented youth voices at scientific meetings\, museum events\, and public education programs. Through their work\, Cole and Connor hope to inspire the next generation of entomologists.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Kevin Huntley
DESCRIPTION:What’s Buzz’n in Humboldt? \nSince my founding in 1989\, I have been researching the insect kingdom. My lifelong passion for these amazing animals has led me to develop several educational programs for the public. My first program was developed in 2013 for Wyndham in Sedona\, Arizona. I was later recognized for my unique talents by the California State Parks where I was allowed to create new insect programs for the Northern Redwoods District starting the summer of 2024 where my success has led me to pursue my dream as an independent insect educator. \nRegister for the meeting here.

SUMMARY:World Bee Day\, San Diego
DESCRIPTION:World Bee Day is held in recognition of the role bees play in sustaining a healthy ecosystem\, ensuring our food supply and ultimately the future of humanity. We will be hosting a table at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park in San Diego to raise awareness of the vital importance of bees and all pollinators\, the threats they face and actions every individual can take to protect them.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Dr. Hollis Woodard
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in US Bee Conservation \nHollis is an Associate Professor of Entomology at the University of California\, Riverside and PI of the US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. She received a PhD in Biology in 2012 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she worked with Dr. Gene Robinson on the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. From 2013-2015 she was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the nutritional ecology of bumble bees with Dr. Shalene Jha at the University of Texas at Austin. In summer 2015\, she joined the faculty at the University of California\, Riverside. She is broadly interested in native bee ecology\, evolution\, social behavior\, and conservation\, and is leading national efforts to conserve US wild bees. \nBee conservation in the US is currently hindered by challenges associated with assessing the status and trends of a diverse group of >3000 species\, many of which are rare\, endemic to small areas\, and/or exhibit high inter-annual variationin population size. Fundamental information about the distribution of most species across space and time\, thus\, is lacking yet urgently needed to assess population status\, guide conservation plans\, and prioritize actions among species and geographies.
