Jamie Strange and I are
compiling <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">in situ</i> pictures of western
North American bumble bees to be incorporated into a field guide. If you have
pictures that you are interested in sharing for this field guide please send me
an email at <a href="mailto:jonathan.koch@usu.edu">jonathan.koch@usu.edu</a>.
Your photograph(s) will be credited to your name in the field guide. I would be
most thankful for any bumble bee pictures you are willing to share with us.</p>
