SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Dr. Hollis Woodard
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in US Bee Conservation \nHollis is an Associate Professor of Entomology at the University of California\, Riverside and PI of the US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. She received a PhD in Biology in 2012 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she worked with Dr. Gene Robinson on the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. From 2013-2015 she was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the nutritional ecology of bumble bees with Dr. Shalene Jha at the University of Texas at Austin. In summer 2015\, she joined the faculty at the University of California\, Riverside. She is broadly interested in native bee ecology\, evolution\, social behavior\, and conservation\, and is leading national efforts to conserve US wild bees. \nBee conservation in the US is currently hindered by challenges associated with assessing the status and trends of a diverse group of >3000 species\, many of which are rare\, endemic to small areas\, and/or exhibit high inter-annual variationin population size. Fundamental information about the distribution of most species across space and time\, thus\, is lacking yet urgently needed to assess population status\, guide conservation plans\, and prioritize actions among species and geographies.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Sam Droege
DESCRIPTION:Tips and workflow for collecting wild bees for conservation \nSam Droege grew up in Hyattsville\, Maryland\, and has always been interested in Nature. He has worked at USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center since 1978 and now works to support research on native bees and stem some of the losses to wild things that come with population growth\, wealth\, and disconnection from Nature. \nThe unfortunate truth is that most bees are small and their identification largely accomplished by looking under the microscope.  We will cover a huge\, and inexpensive\, array of tips\, workflows\, and procedures so that you can make a contribution to our understanding of native bee populations with emphasis on bees with specialized pollen needs and habitats. You can make a difference and your data can make a big contribution.  Examples and demonstrations will be included. \nZoom registration link
