Join Parks Canada scientists and a team of Mi’kmaq Earth Keepers as they venture to Sable Island National Park Reserve to research the endemic Sable Island Sweat Bee. A vital pollinator for the island, the bee is found nowhere else in the world and is classified as threatened under Canada’s Species at Risk Act.
Parks Canada is working with partners—including the Sable Island Institute, the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, the University of Manitoba and Brock University, and the Mi’kmaq Earth Keepers—to better understand the biology of the bee. And no, the sweat bee doesn’t sweat. This family of bees got its name because some species like to drink the perspiration on human skin. Strap in for a rare look behind the scenes of this unique island.
