Thanks for sending this out! Since my education program includes honey bees and native bees I will certainly share this and get some support for what should be a great app!  I have made my contribution.

The app is user-friendly, visually engaging, and highly informative, making it the ideal tool for students, home gardeners, and bee enthusiasts of all ages.
> We’re crowdfunding Wild Bee ID, and we need your support! By donating to our Indiegogo campaign, you’re joining a team protecting our bees, our food, and inspiring a whole new community of pollinator-protection advocates.

> Wild Bee ID will be your go-to app to identify native bees and pollinator-friendly habitats. It’s filled with high-resolution images of native bees and the flowers they visit; background on the different bee life cycles, anatomy, and nesting requirements; and concrete steps you can take to help protect pollinators. 
> By supporting our crowdfunding campaign, you’re helping to bring Wild Bee ID to home gardens and schools across the U.S. Help us create a vast network of citizen entomologists working to identify, support, and protect our wild bees!
