[Pollinator] Project GNBee -- mapping ground-nesting bee aggregations

[Lora Morandin]

See message below from Bryan:

Dear Pollinator Enthusiasts,

Our lab has recently initiated a community science project focused on
mapping (and ultimately conserving) aggregations of ground-nesting bees
using the iNaturalist platform. We are calling this “Project GNBee” and we
would like to spread the word among colleagues and prospective partners.
Here are some links to give you more background on the project:

GNBee website <https://www.gnbee.org/>

iNaturalist project
<https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/ground-nesting-bees-3e6882c0-a112-4ddb-b043-1da25638ce96>


Would you please spread the word? We would also be interested in your
thoughts on the project and how we can improve and expand it. The project
will help us understand how factors like topography and soil
characteristics impact the locations of nesting aggregations and may allow
us to create suitable nesting habitat in the future. We also hope that the
project will lead to conservation efforts focused on protecting sites that
host large aggregations of ground-nesting, wild bees.

For further inquiries and suggestions please contact the project lead,
Jordan Kueneman, at groundnestingbees at gmail.com.



Thanks for your help and feedback,

Bryan Danforth
