Fredericton backyards abuzz with an insect that's finally being tracked

Nature NB has launched its first systematic field survey to track native bumblebee species across Fredericton, documenting six different species in the initial June survey, as part of a broader provincial effort developed by the Mi'kmaq-led Unama'ki Institute to create baseline conservation data for the 18 bumblebee species in New Brunswick.

This is baseline research; direct population recovery outcomes are not yet measured.
