In answer to your query, ANY solitary or social species is discussed. In fact, I am particularly interested in temperate bee species both solitary and social. Most of the work I have done has been on honey bees to date. One aspect we hope will take shape on this e-mail system is the review of published literature. Several volunteers tell the rest of us about bee-oriented papers they have seen. Anyone out there, please feel free to tell us of any study you have recently read and also about current questions and always, sources of $$$ to support field work. Dr. Beary, please contact me via BITNET of phone below. ENjoy the season.......... ================================================================== º Edward E.
