[Pollinator] Hawaiian Bees (Hylaeus) and theri pollen

[Peter Bernhardt]

Please go to the following site for a novel (but not recent) take on take
on identifying pollen collect by native, rare bees in Hawaii.  Hylaeus bees
store pollen in their crops, not on their legs.  This molecular study
claims they identified pollen to species three-years after the bees
ingested it.

Also, here's the web page of a talented young man working on the role of
these bees in the pollination of remnants of native hawaiian vegetation.
