Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
How can we effectively address wild bee population declines without statistically solid measurements of wild bee status? Poorly, would be the answer. How can we be confident there are more declines than would be expected by chance? How much of a baseline are historic museum records? Are current efforts to monitor or inventory bees sufficient? In this Special Issue, we look to summarize the efforts of the world to inventory and monitor wild bees; document how that plays out geographically; evaluate the use of museum records; and determine what current programs could tell us in the future.
