[Pollinator] Native Bee Conservation 101 web cast

[Matthew Shepherd (Xerces Society)]

Hi everyone,

If anyone is interested in hearing about native bees as crop pollinators, here is online resource that you may like to view. It is only available until late July.

Mace Vaughan of the Xerces Society gave a lecture on Native Bee Conservation 101 to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) last week via the internet. The presentation provides an overview of the importance, life history, and conservation of crop-pollinating native bees. Also included is information on the great things the NRCS is doing for pollinator conservation in the U.S.   

If you do view the talk or forward it on to others, you should be aware that this is a recording of the live event. The first few minutes contain lots of beeps and some random comments as participants came on-line for the meeting (also some directions about how the system worked, which are not relevant to anyone viewing this recording). The presentation is about an hour, with an additional fifteen minutes of questions at the end. The information for logging on to the net replay follow below.

Best wishes,
Matthew

PS. You will need to use Internet Explorer, as it says below. I tried it on Mozilla Firefox, and failed. When I resorted to Explorer, it worked.
