$1.4 million grant to fund research on alternative pollinators The new project will establish surveys and a monitoring program to identify the importance of wild pollinators to agricultural pollination, assess bee species collected during survey work to determine if any pathogen or other invasive species has infected the population, develop new pollinators and enhance pollinator awareness through education efforts. http://live.psu.edu/story/49108 *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
