at a general audience of people interested in bees and pollinators, and especially with those interested in bee classification and biogeography. The taxonomy of giant honey bees (Jan 26th) and biogeography of bumble bees (Feb. 23rd) start the series off with
the most popular of bees to engage with a wide base of attendees. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
