Happy that our #NSF-funded research on the temporal stability of wild #bees' pollen nutrition is now published! Basic funding into what bees need is so important and feeling imperiled lately. Open access article: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Wild bees occupy temporally stable pollen nutritional niches - Oecologia

As bees’ primary source of protein and lipids, pollen is a nutritional resource key to the persistence of wild populations. Because bee taxa may differ in their pollen macronutrient requirements, and ...

Pollination is embedded in supply chains that most people never think of. Flowering plants that depend on pollinators underpin European industries such as medicinal plants, food supplements, biomass energy crops, biomaterials, textiles, fodder, cosmetics, decoration, art, culture, and tourism

Pollinator Week reminder 🐝🦋 Protecting pollinators = more than just planting flowers. Pollinators need nesting sites, larval food, healthy soils, connected habitats, and a clean environment. Pollinator stewardship = caring for the complete pollinator life cycle. #PollinatorWeek

Pollinator Week is coming soon 🐝🦋💓 It is a good moment to remember that caring for pollinators can start very locally: in a garden, a schoolyard, a farm, a park, or one small patch left a little wilder. Small actions can create real butterfly effects. #PollinatorWeek #Pollinators
