Hi. I enjoy your podcast. I had two comments about your native bees show. Thanks for brining attention to them. 1) A native bee expert did an online program for our local native plant society. Since it is online, thought I would share it: https://georgetown.zoom.us/rec/play/tZYkcOisq2g3S4KQsgSDB6d7W9Tue66s0yFK8_RfnxyxW3NSY1rzNOMSNOM0hiuyGIYBt4NYGnrLicBi?continueMode=true&_x_zm_rtaid=B1GwQ9-zSY2YBmIY_l3KaQ.1592319992409.ffc949d9e5b82ee85db0a37b88532850&_x_zm_rhtaid=303 2) The pronunciation for Megachilidae that I’ve heard is a little different than what I heard on your show. Not a bee expert myself, but a few of the local bee researchers say it this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcyKhvpJpeU
Thanks for sharing the link for the online program. I just listened to a few minutes and I am looking forward to listening to the whole presentation. Also thanks for helping us out on the pronunciation of Megachilidae.
Hi Bob,
I was honored to have you bring up Crown Bees in this podcast. I appreciated your free-form and informative discussion and the research that you two must have gone through to produce this show. Well done!
Let us know how we can help you reach others.
