We would like to invite you to a workshop for our USDA-funded National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. The Native Bee Monitoring RCN is holding a series of virtual workshops from 2021-2024, at which we will gather ideas and perspectives from the professional bee monitoring community on strategies for national native bee monitoring practices. We will synthesize discussions and presentations from these workshops into a national native bee monitoring plan.
This workshop is co-organized by Elaine Evans of the University of Minnesota, Rufus Isaacs of Michigan State University, Sarina Jepsen of the Xerces Society, Margarita López-Uribe of Penn State University, and Andony Melathopoulos of Oregon State University, and will focus on the capacity of Cooperative Extension and community science to participate in national native bee monitoring efforts. More details about RCN workshops can be found on our website (

Please let us know your availability for this workshop by filling out this form as soon as you have a chance. If you are not able to attend, there will still be possibilities to participate in the dialogue and we welcome hearing your thoughts and opinions.
To prepare for this workshop, this form has a few questions in addition to the preregistration information. These questions will take less than 5 minutes to answer, and we would greatly appreciate your input.
Lastly, please distribute this invitation widely to anyone who may be interested in attending. We are eager to connect with the Cooperative Extension network. That may mean you see this email multiple times; we apologize for any cross-posts.
