[Pollinator] Correct Error (NY Times) Science Tuesday

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dear Liz:

Paul says it has been corrected(see below) but we knew that the online page
was always correct.  The correction of The NY Times doesn't specify the
error was in the hard copy edition.  Oh dear, newspapers in print and
online really need to specify.

Peter

And, if you go to another article,
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/09/22/science/on-the-cusp-of-climate-change.html?ref=science

You will find this at the bottom:

*Correction: September 24, 2014 *

A photo accompanying a report in a roundup on Tuesday about how animal and
plant species around the world may be threatened by warmer global
temperatures was published in error.  It was a photo of a carpenter bee,
not a bumblebee.
