Happy World Bee Day! We will be helping with wild bee surveying on campus to identify what wild bees are on the University of Guelph campus! This information will be used to make decisions in the Pollinator Action Plan! #BeeCampus #WorldBeeDay
Our team is learning how to conduct wild bee surveying with @wildforbees from @1in3mouthfuls! We will be helping to conduct samplings, in order to identify the bee species that are on campus! This will be used to properly inform the decisions made for the Pollinator Action Plan!

Happy #WorldBeeDay! Did you know that there are 20,350 species of #bees worldwide? 🌎 Most of the 470 #BeesofPA are #native and only 1 is the #honeybee! 🐝 YOU can help support these #pollinators starting with ideas here: extension.psu.edu/conserving… #biodiversity #conservation

1st May means it's already 5 years since I started my exciting role @uofg. Thanks to my amazing @1in3mouthfuls team, & so many other great colleagues, for working tirelessly with me to understand #pollinators & how to conserve them making the adventure so much more fun @UofG_SES

Hi Twitter. I'm Kiera Newman @bees4future and I'll be sharing some of my research through the Raine Pollinator Lab over the next few weeks. I study the intersection between monarch butterfly and wild bee conservation, including where honeybees fit in.

VERY thankful for the opportunity to #bee involved with the #3MT @uofg! I really enjoy public speaking and am thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to share my research. Looking forward to spring and to more #bumblebees! Thanks to everyone for their support in this process!🐝🖤
Hi Twitter! I’m Hayley @wildforbees & over the next week I’ll tell you a bit about my research on #bumblebee nesting ecology. Today I participated in the #3MT & even though I didn’t win, it was a great opportunity to share my research in 3min. Big thanks to my lab 4 the support!

Looking at flower constancy in honey bees today with my students- this is the tendency of honey bees to visit one flower species until they have a full load of pollen. It can be seen by looking at the pollen collected by bees and you can even guess the flower species they visited
