🇨🇱About the picture of Bombus dahlbomii drinking sap we uploaded the other day. Well, now we have a video, thanks to Colmenares Panguilemu #citizenscience .Abejorro Chileno Sheila Colla, Ph.D Dave Goulson @CorySilas @leifr7 #BumblebeeWatching Oliver E. Prŷs-Jones 🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Xerces Society hol

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!

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

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 Rory Dimond 🌼🪰🌼🐝🌼🦟 did a fantastic graphic too 🤗 How many bees can you spot in your garden or going out for walks with your family 💕 #solitarybees #beeID #solitarybees

Our article with @hcs_lambert on #bumblebees who damage plants and cause accelerating #flowering,  is finally out Science Magazine​ one day after #WorldBeeDay !!!! #pollination #insects #behaviour #ecology science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

Bumble bees damage plant leaves and accelerate flower production when pollen is scarce science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

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

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/BeUyWLCmaZ5EzF… Database lives here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Bombus affinis (Rusty-patched Bumble Bee) briefly detained for positive ID in a 1.5 year old restored prairie Nachusa Grasslands 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. Sean Griffin

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.

Bee scientists: Bees need natural, undisturbed places to nest!! This Megachile: How 'bout here? 😂

Join our team! #monarchconservation

I don’t think diversity training can fix this.

Today! Congrats Aidee Guzman.

🚨New Paper Alert!📜 The Importance of Forests in Bumble Bee Biology and Conservation 🌳🐝 Available for free in BioScience with myself, @jH_wisc, Jade Kochanski, @leifr7, and Ian Pearse We think this overview will be very useful for many - give it a read! academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…
