Alison, You must know Frank Drummond. We met at The bee symposium in Utah, a few years back. We exchanged ideas about bee conservation and native bee management. I would very much like to discuss any ideas you might have about bee conservation or biology. Next week I'll be moving to Auburn, Alabama to do my Ph.D. I'll be studying the impact of prolonged UV exposure (ozone depletion and all that stuff) on plant- pollinator interactions. Good luck on your Ph.D. studies Best Wishes -Blair *..... *...*...... *.....*........
