4th International Conference on #Pollinator biology, health & policy is coming to @ucdavis next summer. Save the date July 17-20 2019 #PollCon19 #entsoc18 #JAM18 #BeeThere!

This!!!! Coming in September. I just had a wonderful chat with Bryan Danforth about all things solitary #bee. They are amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book #PollCon19

Goodbye #PollCon19.

Allotments and gardens hold the most bee species. At city scale, gardens are most important by far. Pollinator conservation in cities is about improving the management of parks and gardens, and increasing the area of allotments #PollCon19 https://t.co/xCMZB7GUAj

Elsa Youngsteadt and team have tested the influence of urban temperatures on bee abundance and communities #PollCon19

Aaron Iverson #PollCon19 is measuring floral resources at landscape scale, based on floral area. This correlates with bee and ladybird abundance, but not hoverfly abundance. Excellent work.

And some important results showing that pollen trapping, even for 20 days continuously, does not influence honey bee brood production. #PollCon19

Bees are more active in warmer temperatures but don’t live as long - Jessica Forrest at #PollCon19

⁦@LynnDicks⁩ giving plenary this morning about the role of people in pollinator conservation #PollCon19

Hey attendees at #PollCon19 🐝! How can/should scientists work towards social justice and how do we embody that vision? Join us for an informal discussion Friday night in Briggs Hall 122 from 6:30-8:00pm. No preparation needed, come for all or part of the conversation 🌻

Queen honey #bees often fail. Alison McAfee is finding out how to tell when this has been caused by heat stress, perhaps in transit. Safe temperature range for sperm viability in queens is 12.9- 39°C #PollCon19

Hey #PollCon19! Be sure to check out the viewPOINTS posters and give your input throughout the conference! Help contribute to science-informed policy about pollinators

Had an incredible time at #PollCon19! 🐝

@Squash_Bee reports on fascinating and terrifying findings of the effect of a neonic on the inability of a Hoary squash bee to forage pollen and form soil nests. Pollination and fruit set not affected. How? So many questions! #PollCon19

Looking forward to talking about crop pollination economics at this evening’s #PollCon19 poster session!

The Wonderful Bee Company highlights the high prices almond growers pay for hives #PollCon19

Katja Hogondoorn tells us about Aussie bees that visit crops and those that don’t #PollCon19

Cedric Alaux @Inra_France speaking: flowering catch crops and semi-natural habitat in French landscape improve honey #bee health and overwinter survival through improved nutrition, indicated by vitellogenin levels in #bee fat bodies. #PollCon19 https://t.co/3OlcsfOhRp

Julia Fine talks about using QMCs to study stress effects on bee health. #PollCon19

George Hansen from https://t.co/MPVH8da43N at #PollCon19. A commercial beekeeper's perspective on the impacts of land use on #bees. Nothing for pollinators in these landscapes (hazelnut orchard; commercial forestry). It doesn't have to be like this!
