@GeoffreySupran @ScienceMagazine @billmckibben @dan_kammen @KHayhoe @NaomiAKlein @GretaThunberg @SenWhitehouse @350 @RollieWilliams @MichaelEMann @jamieclimate Hmmm...perhaps we shouldn't trust pesticide companies to tell us the truth about their products either!

# of wild bee species found by crop with nesting guild categories...ground nesters are most common guild. Shouldn't we be paying more attention to them? https://t.co/QaLb6Pyi2L

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

Here are the number of published datasets we found by crop for 4 regions of N.A.https://t.co/QaLb6Pyi2L

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

We looked at a wide variety papers listing bees on all these crops across 4 N.A. regions

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

We did it! @alanapindar and @SabRondeau and I have published a compilation of the wild bee visitors to major crops in N. America in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems https://t.co/QaLb6Pyi2L

How do the insecticides imidacloprid and cyantraniliprole affect bumblebee movements and behaviour?

Dr. Amanda Liczner (@UofG_SES), is hoping to find out! She and her team are using radio tracker 'backpacks' to monitor the movements of bumblebee queens.

Bombus terricola nesting in an abandoned mouse nest made from leaves and feathers in an old honey bee hive at my place...and lots of B. fervidus individuals around the hive too. Has anyone ever tested if queens are attracted to the smell of mouse when looking for a nest?

@mmlopezu @NashTurley @Dr_Pollinator @Ecol_Evol @PAAgriculture @USDA_NIFA @AgSciResearch Really important work.

@CorySilas Beautiful!

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

So pleased to be testing an Ontario facility for overwintering honey bee nucleus colonies and banking queens--kudos to Kawartha Lakes Honey for sharing their innovative system.

@richardsmiriam1 Oh boy..this looks familiar. Who even knows where all the shoes come from. Every year I swear it'll be different...but NOPE.

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

Way to go @AlanaPindar!

[Nigel Raine @NigelERaine]

"A century ago in Nova Scotia, Mabel Bell’s garden taught environmental lessons we’re still trying to learn". Great to see @AlanaPindar's heroic project to recreate Mabel Bell's garden for #pollinator research getting attention: https://t.co/S8z4JikjL3 @smckinley1 @TorontoStar

Hoary squash bees knock pollen off Cucurbita anthers where it gathers in the base of the corolla...no use to bees or to the Cucurbita. BUT ants sure use it! Thks for the video Patricia Nunes Silva!

[Sabrina Rondeau, PhD @SabRondeau]

Great news to wake up to: 2nd PhD #thesis chapter #accepted!

Happy Monday to me and co-authors Nicolas Baert, Scott McArt (@cornellento), and @NigelERaine! 🎉

[Susan Chan @Squash_Bee]

Looking for well-balanced useful guides to protecting pollinators on crops? So proud of the cucurbit crop guide. See https://t.co/TK6gTVKLd7
