<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Folks,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm looking for publications on the
impacts and best practices for mowing, tilling, fire and invasive plant
management in non-agricultural protected areas in relation to native been
conservation. I'm less interested in pubs about 'how to create bee nesting
habitat' and more interested in pubs that describe impacts and provide
recommendations for conserving existing natural nesting habitat and other
resources utilized by native bees. I'm already familiar with the Xerces
Society's many excellent publications on effective management for pollinator
conservation. But if any of you can point me in the direction of any other
good references on this subject I'd appreciate it. I'm also interested
in any papers that about the impacts (or lack thereof) of insect collecting
activities on native bee populations.</font>
