Native Bees vs Honey Bees

Public Talk

Join us at Tūhura Otago Museum’s Bug Day and celebrate bugs with this interactive talk about some of our important insect pollinators by University of Otago Senior Lecturer Dr Jenny Jandt.

Learn more about New Zealand’s Bug of the Year 2023 Winner, the native bee (Leioproctus fulvescens), and how you can help protect it from extinction.

Dr Jenny Jandt is a behavioural ecologist who specializes in social insect colony and foraging behaviour. Her research investigates how environmental and social factors can affect behaviour. She is committed to community outreach to promote floral diversity in urban areas.
