[Pollinator] Bees in the trees

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dear Family, Friends and Colleagues:

Our most recent paper was published last Thursday and it is attached. If
you take the DOI link at the bottom you will go to the online journal page.
It will give you access to three icons to smash should you wish to see all
of our appendices and/or read the "lay person's summary." Some of you
waited patiently for this paper for years although we had all of our data
completed by the winter of 2020. During that gap our first author and
statistician, Gerardo Camilo, became very ill but he is fine now.
Publication in the Journal of Pollination was also delayed by some sort of
miscommunication among their editors. It took at least 8 months to
straighten out the problems and we are very grateful for the intervention
of Dr Peter Kevan.

I must apologize to Gordon Fitch and the coauthors of their 2019 paper on
"changes in adult sex ratios in wild bee communities linked to
urbanization." I did not read their paper until our manuscript was in
galley proof and it was too late to add a citation. The authors will note
that we also found that the % of male bees was greater in our city trees
compared to trees in our rural sites.

I would like to thank some friends for inquiring about our safety following
last week's tornado. Linda and I are fine and there was no damage to our
house or suburb. The tornado hit the city and most of you are viewing
footage taken on the northside and through mid-town in the Central West
End. Unfortunately, our current safety may not last as they are predicting
yet another violent storm cycle tonight/tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Peter
