@tomkimmerer I always thought Limax maximus sounded like a gladiator name so I made this cartoon

@StillALillie @BeeKindPlz Unfortunately Bee Seeds mix is not native as they claim. Best to find a reputable native seed supplier.

@BeeSafeGarrido Curious if you found any studies where bees can delay emergence if there isn’t a good bloom when they would normally emerge?

[Michael O'Loughlin @molfamily]

@GardensNewport I guess I misunderstood your tweet about placing bee hives and Central Oregon Coast being a migratory corridor for many insect species

[Michael O'Loughlin @molfamily]

@GardensNewport Are you saying honey bees migrate?

[Michael O'Loughlin @molfamily]

@rita_krug Those are flies

@CodeyMathis @dialictus Is there a key for Nomada?

@MissGreenTDSB @maxwellidae @inaturalist Unfortunately iNaturalist is not reliable at the species level. But fun to play with.

@mySA I am glad they point out how unlikely you are to die from one of these bites.

[Michael O'Loughlin @molfamily]

@sfbaybees @nerd4ecology @SabinaLucke I agree, but not the usual place of attachment. Whatever works.

@Kate_Bradbury Whenever you mow you should start in the middle and work your way out. And go slow, amphibians and reptiles don’t move fast.
