Unfortunately, there isn't "one weird trick" to communicating bug science. We know that emotions are important in persuading people and encouraging evidence-based decision making. But how do you make a real connection in a time of misinformation and political division? Join Gwen Pearson, science communicator and entomologist, to explore this topic in our upcoming webinar. […]
Planting flowers can be a feel-good community activity, but who is sticking around to upkeep that new garden? Quality pollinator habitat needs a game plan for long-term success. Join Xerces Society staff Kaitlin Haase and Stefanie Steele as they share their on-the-ground experiences with pollinator plantings. They will review common challenges, offer best practices, and […]

Did you know that most native bees are ground nesting? Aggregations (aka groups) of these nests are under-studied, but Dr. Jordan Kueneman at Cornell University is working to change that through Project GNBee (gnbee.org). Since spring 2023, the public has already provided over 5,000 observations of about 370 species of ground-nesting bees to GNBee. This […]
