[Pollinator] Request for info about Digger Bees

[Kimberly Winter]

>From NAPPC partner Carol DiSalvo (National Park Service):

"There seems to be an increase in the occurrance of digger bees in this [DC] 
area.  I imagine this is a natural cyclic event.

I am waiting to hear from Smithsonian entomologists but was wondering if 
anyone has any info on any stings associated with this species ?

We are currently signing the area to inform people that these insects are 
not aggressive, are active as they are seeking mates, defending territories 
and collecting pollen for larvae.

Does anyone have any other outreach items prepared for digger bees?"
