Bugs & Bikes: Citizen Science in the Fields & On Two Track Paths Between
Join us for Bugs & Bikes weekend at Vilicus Farms in Havre, Montana, home to the largest Bee Better Certified farm in the world—with nearly 700 acres of thriving pollinator habitat. Set in a state that leads the nation with 29 native bumblebee species, this experience brings riders and eaters onto the land to connect with the insects that power our food system
Through time in the fields and on two wheels, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how pollinator conservation, biodiversity, and agriculture are all part of the same living system.
