Our paper on pollen nutrition and invasive thistles is out! Why is an invasive thistle so attractive to resident bees in Pennsylvania? We found that it might be because it has high pollen protein: https://t.co/a4sUjaMh09

I am trying to find studies proving or disproving red as a method of nest parasites "becoming invisible" to other bees. Any leads on studies is appreciated.

[Colorado Native Bee @CoNativeBee]

Can anyone lead me to studies about why #CuckooBees tend to be red?

[Colorado Native Bee @CoNativeBee]

Anyone able to help with this story request for #Magpies?

[Ryan Bartlett @CoNaturalist]

I once read a story about 'How the Magpie got it's long tail.' I cannot find it anywhere!
Does anyone know it? I'm putting together a list of plants and animals that have cool stories like that.
Any help is appreciated!

Anthophora dammersi is a digger bee found mainly in the Mojave desert and the Colorado plateau. I love the eyes on this female!
