"Dear Colleagues,

The NBII Pollinators Web site has been migrated to the NBII portal
<http://pollinators.nbii.gov/>.

The underlying technology driving the Web
site is PlumTree portal technology, which will allow us greater
flexibility in serving dynamic content from local and remotely accessed
databases, and provide greater connectivity and consistency among NBII web
sites and those of our partners. We will be working on addition of quality
web content on pollinators over the coming months. If there is a feature,
resource type (e.g. identification guides, image gallery), or subject that
you would like to see covered on or linked to from this web site, or if
you would like to contribute content, please let me know
<esellers at usgs.gov>.
