This will be a helpful publication to share with the public, landscapers, landscape architects and groundskeepers who want to provide attractive nesting sites and materials to increase populations of native bees. It also reports a way to non-destructively convince a ground aggregation of bees to abandon a site (in this case, one slated for sodding with grass). The fact sheet is posted on the Utah Pests site under the fact sheets link:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><a href="http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/factsheet/ENT-175-15.pdf" target="_blank">http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/factsheet/ENT-175-15.pdf</a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">For many of you, most of it will be familiar, but you may find it handy when passing information along to others.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Yours,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Jim Cane</span></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:white">__._,_.___</span></p></div><div style="margin-top:7.5pt"><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;background:white"><hr size="2" width="100%" noshade style="color:#e3e3e3" align="center"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">Posted by: "Cane, Jim" <<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','Jim.Cane@ARS.USDA.GOV');" target="_blank">Jim.Cane@ARS.USDA.GOV</a>> </p><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;background:white"><hr size="2" width="100%" noshade style="color:#e3e3e3" align="center"></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
