><p><em>Photo above: Dana in the field using a bug net to catch bumble bees. Photo: Braelyn Smallwood<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When I first stepped into the world of bumble bee conservation, I was entering uncharted territory. My background was in marine biology, and before this role, I had never worked with bees. Transitioning from studying marine life to understanding the world of bumble bees was both thrilling and daunting. It felt like I was trading the vast, mysterious ocean for the equally complex, but much smaller, world of these incredible pollinators.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of my time as a bumble bee conservation technician, my primary task involved heading out into the field during the spring to catch bumble bees. We headed out to the most beautiful conservation areas and I was handed a big net and a cooler bag full of vials. I was on top of the world; I was out in nature peacefully walking around, recording all the flowers I saw and looking out for bumble bees. When it came to catching them that first day, it was my first time trying but I thought, how hard could it be? I\u2019d been tossed around by currents trying to measure fish lengths using my hands and forearms as references, I had swum around sharks trying to grab marine snail shells and I\u2019d been slammed by waves on the intertidal of the Indian Ocean while trying to identify species. Perhaps I came in a little overconfident in my potential bee-catching abilities. I can\u2019t even count how many times I swung for a flying bee, only to end up spinning in circles and walking away with an empty net\u2014or worse, a net with stray leaves and twigs stuck in it from my enthusiastic but slightly off-target attempts. Though I soon caught my first bee and then my second, and so on, I can assure you that the thrill never goes away. My role here has even found me bragging to my friends about the day the team caught 206 bumble bees (much to their disinterest).<\/p>\n<p>We caught all that we could, identified each species and then diligently recorded which ones we found and how many of each species. All of a sudden I was identifying bumble bees on the spot when two weeks before I couldn\u2019t have said more than \u201cthis one has more yellow than that one\u201d. When we caught one of our two target species &#8211; the yellow-banded and the tri-coloured &#8211; as long as they were queens with no pollen (to indicate they hadn\u2019t yet made their colonies), they were brought back to our lab to be raised there and contribute to our research, breeding program, and overall conservation efforts. The bees we caught that were not our target species were recorded and then released.<\/p>\n<p>Though these fieldwork days were long, I loved every minute of them! I enjoyed exploring different areas and chatting with hikers who were curious about what I was doing with a big net and determination in my eyes. It was incredible to see how many people genuinely cared about our work and shared a passion for bumble bee conservation. Being out in the field brought some wonderfully unpredictable experiences (like the day a lovely family walked their pet chicken and let me hold it or when we ended up at a Christmas themed cafe on the way to one of our surveys) and offered countless opportunities to learn. Each day presented new challenges and insights, deepening my understanding of bumble bees and their role in our ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2nca8ii-405670fae41d8f1f24538323b47cfd7f\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2nca8ii-405670fae41d8f1f24538323b47cfd7f img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m2nca8ii-405670fae41d8f1f24538323b47cfd7f .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2nca8ii-405670fae41d8f1f24538323b47cfd7f av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-48449 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-48449 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/w-Dana-with-a-chicken.jpg' alt='' title='w-Dana-with-a-chicken'  height=\"800\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m2ncbns0-e2aafeaf582682dca31a5917457df9ac'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Dana and a pet silkie chicken.

Here, I&#8217;m learning all about bumble bee husbandry and the ins and outs of bumble bee conservation practices at the WPC lab. I\u2019m doing everything from setting up mating trials to conducting colony checks &#8211; where we complete tasks like giving the bees pollen and nectar, counting their egg cells and workers, removing males and possible gynes (future queens) for mating, and recording all the information about the colonies progress so we can see how each one is doing &#8211; and the never-ending job of washing the lab dishes (which is very important and a job I\u2019ve found myself quite dedicated to). Beyond that, I make pollen and nectar to give to our bees and conduct regular lab activities to keep everything running smoothly. Most of these tasks are ones I didn\u2019t know could be tasks until a couple of months ago, much less ones that I would become good at. It&#8217;s fascinating to witness how a single queen, with the help of her worker bees, can establish a thriving colony.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_4'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-48444'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2ncmqn1-57c9e7c5297a8dc26c983d17475779bb\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m2ncmqn1-57c9e7c5297a8dc26c983d17475779bb img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m2ncmqn1-57c9e7c5297a8dc26c983d17475779bb .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m2ncmqn1-57c9e7c5297a8dc26c983d17475779bb av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-48453 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-48453 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/w-fingerjpg.jpg' alt='' title='w-fingerjpg'  height=\"800\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m2nco8g7-36eccfe652576cd971508c0fd8d8ddea'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Dana holding three male yellow-banded bumble bees that were born in the lab.

I have the opportunity to chat with people every day at African Lion Safari to answer questions and share my newfound bumble bee insights. I have participated in the annual volunteer training event at Pinery Provincial Park where we train volunteers on how to conduct their own bumble bee population surveys! Sharing what I\u2019ve learned with others has been incredibly fulfilling. It\u2019s a bit surreal to think that not too long ago, I knew next to nothing about bees. Now, I\u2019m educating others, helping them understand the importance of these pollinators, and maybe even inspiring them to act in their communities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>From Marine Biology to Bumble Bee Conservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My experience in the bumble bee world has moved me so far beyond my water-based comfort zone and has revealed some incredibly unexpected passions. I\u2019ve gone from knowing nothing about bees to feeling like I\u2019m part of something truly important, contributing to the knowledge base we have about bumble bees and aiding in their conservation. From the thrill of catching bees in the wild to the pride in seeing a colony thrive under our care, my role has provided a constant reminder of the incredible resilience and importance of these tiny but mighty creatures and our role in their conservation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-25n0fqw-acd144ae3928027679a389e5f7daa6cb main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-48444'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1mhbwl4-4e92c2664ee0017e6ee616eb6fda0f9b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-19  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-1869t5k-d3a8a10a8c8b3747131e23d4278387ea'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Dana Stubbs<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Bumble Bee Conservation Technician &#8211; Native Pollinator Initiative<\/em><\/h5>\n<p>Dana holds a master\u2019s degree in marine biology, where she gained expertise in ecosystem dynamics and species interactions.
