Event Series: Riveredge Nature Center 2026

Dr. Jeff Karron’s talk at Riveredge will feature striking slow-motion videography to highlight the interdependence of bumble bee queens and spring-flowering perennial plants. All video and photography featured in this presentation were filmed in high-quality woodland and prairie sites across southeastern Wisconsin.

Dr. Karron is Professor of Biology emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is internationally known for his research on the ecology of plant-pollinator interactions, bumble bee behavior, and the conservation of endangered plants.
