Great work to identify resistance to an insecticide used to control a clover pest during bloom. Great work underway in Oregon to identify alternative insecticides that are less toxic to bees.
Exciting update: Super pleased to be part of Grace Tiwari et al.'s newly published work on Tychius seed-feeding weevils! Access the publication at: doi.org/10.1093/jee/toae012

Through habitat kits, we give pollinator plants to partners willing to host habitat in high-need areas. We build long-term relationships & long-term habitat. A visit to planted kits showed how the blooms & greenery are supporting both pollinators & people.

The PNW has some brand new keys to identify bumble bees to species and other bees to genus. The initiative was led by Jim Rivers @OSUForestry, with imagery from @ORDeptAg and design by Lincoln Best @CASresearch_OSU. today.oregonstate.edu/news/n…

Oregon has over 600 species of bees, but likely more. Make a tax-deductible donation to Jerry and Judith Paul Native Pollinator Endowment at the @oregonstatealum and help create an inventory and range map of all the bees in the state. Donate today: beav.es/4JK
