[Pollinator] Photos, text, and links to Photos of Bees Needed for Online Guide

[Sam Droege]

Greetings Everyone:

Our online guides to the Bees of Eastern North America continue to mature, 
with all the genera in at least draft form available with the exception of 
Sphecodes.  We would like to link, scan, or copy photos, line drawings, 
and text  that you might have for any of these groups so that they may be 
added to each species' web page. 

Such information will greatly enhance the usefulness of the site.  In 
particular we would like to get permission to use published and 
unpublished species accounts within revisions or other manuscripts that 
pertain to the identification and biology of these species.  We ultimately 
hope to have most of the literature for each species scanned and loaded on 
each site.  Pictures of any kind (pinned or live) would also be 
appreciated.

Reviews and suggestions for any of the guides would also be useful.

Anyone wishing to expand and co-author these guides to other geographic 
areas would also be welcome.  We are starting to expand some of the guides 
throughout North America north of Mexico but it will be quite some time 
before that project is finished.

Many thanks.

Two cows
In a marsh,
Mildly munching
Fodder harsh.
Cow's mother,
Cow's daughter,
Mildly edging
Brackish water.
Mildly munching,
While heron,
Brackish-minded,
Waits like Charon.
Two cows,
Mildly mooing;
No bull;
Nothing doing.
