The Biological Museum is a research institution that does not have exhibition space and is not normally open to the public. We use this opportunity at the Sustainability week to open the doors of the Entomology collection and show the oldest and largest Swedish insect collection. In addition to this, we offer a lecture on bumblebees and their great importance as pollinators.

15:00-15:30

Lecture “Bumblebees of Sweden: how are they doing and how to support them?”, by Dr. Romain Carrié, researcher at the Center for Climate and Environment Research, Lund University

The lecture will be given in English and it is aimed at the general public. No registration is necessary for attending the lecture.

15:30-16:00 and 16:00-16:30

Collection tour, Dr. Jadranka Rota, curator of the Entomology Collection, Biological Museum, Lund University

There will be two tours in English, each lasting half an hour and each limited to the maximum of 12 people.
 

The tours are now full, but your are still welcome to join the lecture.
