All Apologies for any cross-postings
We have just put up charts showing corrected capture by week (phenology) for bee genera in the Mid-Atlantic area (NJ, MD, PA, VA, WV, DC, DE) of North America. Over 7000 collection events were used. With 170K specimen records Feel free to share, download, and use anyway you like citizens. http://www.slideshare.net/sdroege/bee-genera-phenology-2016 Next year we will do charts showing species graphs with males female totals separated out. sam Sam Droege [email protected] w 301-497-5840 h 301-390-7759 fax 301-497-5624 USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center BARC-EAST, BLDG 308, RM 124 10300 Balt.

Is it any surprise that there are more boxelder bugs than Norwegians? Imagine a planet in which Norwegians crawled up and down your kitchen walls by the thousands, hid under the warm coffee pot, fell like discolored noodles out of the noodle bags where they slept; after the blizzards started, you would find Norwegians dried inside light fixtures, Norwegians clogging up the vacuum cleaner, Norwegians floating in cups of lukewarem coffee. -Bill Holm -- *Bees are Not Optional* *Apes sunt et non liberum*
