Well folks the 2012 GTM NERR bee survey is complete and that means we have 2 years of data gathered! So far, we have identified 95 species of bees, with a couple more coming down the road. I'd say that's pretty good considering there are roughly 315 species in Florida.
As soon as all the bees are completely ID'd I'll get a final species list up on the website. I'd like to say a special thanks to my volunteers Joan Kramer, Michael Silvis, and Terry Williams for their dedication and excellent work these last 2 years. I couldn't have done it without them. Dr. Glenn Hall and I are working hard at getting all the bees identified and it looks like we already have some interesting things to report in the near future.
