Skeptics on the Fringe:Anthony McCluskey-Plight of the bumblebee

Speaker - Anthony McCluskey

Talk - The plight of the bumblebee

Bumblebees are the sound of summer, but their populations have been declining in recent times.

Anthony McCluskey will be along to talk about their ecology, the reasons for their declines and discuss how we can help them.

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust was created to address the alarming declines in bumblebees.

In the past 80 years, two species have become extinct in the UK, and many others are threatened. Anthony McCluskey works to raise awareness of the plight of the bumblebee.
