<font style="font-family:garamond,serif" size="4">Greetings all!<br>
<br>
The 2012 Bumble Bee Workshop hosted by the
USDA-Agricultural Research Service Pollinating Insect Research Unit and
Utah State University Cooperative Education will explore the
possibilities for using wild bumble bees as pollinators. The topics
covered will include bumble bee conservation, identifying western bumble
bee species, and maximizing the use of a commercial colony. The
workshop will have something for everyone, from growers who need to
augment pollination services to their crops, to the citizen scientist
who wants to raise their own bumble bees in their backyard. </font>

Week for a day of bumble bees on June 20, 2012 in Logan, Utah. An agenda
