[Pollinator] FW: June 16th deadline for Aussie Bombus importation comments

[Kimberly Winter]

>From NAPPC Partner Steve Buchmann, The Bee Works:

Here is the information from Anne Dollin in Australia:

Comments are due before the June 16th (deadline for comments to the 
Australian government).

Its important to keep B. terrestris  out of mainland Australia. Its already 
causing havoc on the island of Tasmania with native insect and bird 
pollinators, since it is such a generalist forager.
