Last week a couple people had some questions about our new report,
Pollinators in Peril. Here is our response.

   1.

   Was the paper peer reviewed? No. Like most grey literature, including
   most reports issued by non-profit advocacy groups, it was not.
   2.

   Can we provide more details on the methodology used? Yes. We’ve updated
   the methodology section to provide that information. Please see the new
   methods section here.

   3.

   Why weren’t individual accounts of each of the bee species presented?
   Including individual narratives on 4337 bee species would be impractical in
   such a publication. This report is the first publication of a long term
   pollinator research and protection project. In the future we’ll provide
   more extensive web-based data availability.

Thanks for your concern about our native bees.
