[Pollinator] Fire ants and native bees - direct & indirect of the fire ants and also chemical control measures

[Kit Prendergast]

Hi Beeple,
I am doing a research project on the impact of fire ants on native bees and
their resources, as well as the impact of fire ant eradication methods on
native bees. Have any of you worked in this area? There’s been almost nil
pesticide research in Aus, let alone on native bees, and fire ants are a
recent incursion, so I’ll looking to international research. Whilst I’ll be
looking at published lit I expect that some research and findings will be
in reports that aren’t readily available, or might be a topic some of you
are currently working on. If anyone has any information to share with me
I’d be very grateful .

Sincerely,
Kit
