Pollinator conservation, for better or worse, is one if the public's top concerns right now. It's an issue deeply intertwined with the climate crisis, food security & sustainabilitu of ecosystems. Using bees to garner support to do work in the broader issues is smart.

Bombus affinis (Rusty-patched Bumble Bee) briefly detained for positive ID in a 1.5 year old restored prairie @Nachusa today!!! Only 4 days in to a summer of bumble bee surveys! So excited to start getting an idea for how widespread this species is in the preserve. @larval_yeti

Pollinator and pollination people - we have begun assembling an "Early Career Pollinat* Ecologists" database!
I hope it will be used to network, find reviewers, search for candidates, etc.
Enter your info: forms.gle/BeUyWLCmaZ5EzF6ZA
Database lives here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

I just learned there are a couple species of mason bees that build their nests using flower petals, and it's cuteness overload. Osmia avosetta and O. tergestensis are now my favorite bees. Check out Rozen et al. 2010 for more fabulous pictures!

Today is #InternationalBiodiversityDay. Don't forget the little things that run the world without us even knowing it! 🕷🦗🐞🐝🐜🐌🦠

Not sure which little species this is, but it's been sprucing itself up for #SolitaryBeeHour 🐝💚
Keep safe all👍

Nibbs loves this bee identity graphic by the very talented @Rhiptera 🐝last Solitary bee hour @Ecoentogeek did a fantastic graphic too 🤗
How many bees can you spot in your garden or going out for walks with your family 💕

Apple bloom in Wisconsin has begun, which means it's time to survey bees on apple using our new #CitizenScience WiBee App! Whether you have a single apple tree or an orchard, we'd love for you to download the app and help us collect wild bee data: pollinators.wisc.edu/wibee
