So glad to have our team #MAPPumn together! Although @kleehoneybee is missing from this photo, these smiling faces are ready to hit the ground running. Sampling #NativeBees, natural enemies, & #plant communities, we are excited to the start the 2019 field season! #CariveauLab
May’s #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is #Dalea #purpurea aka Purple Prairie Clover! This plant is popular with #nativebees, making it an ideal subject of #pollen studies in the #CariveauLab. Found in prairies from Canada to Texas, you can spot this #perennial throughout North America. 🐝
April's #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is #Asclepias #syriaca aka Common #Milkweed. They dot MN roadsides & prairies in clusters of 🌸 & 💟. Arranged like 🐟 scales, seeds disperse using long, flossy hairs. While #Monarchs are faithful visitors, #beetles #aphids & #pollinators use it too
Hey @fieldworktalk! Let us know if you want to chat about the work of we do for #pollinators in ag country. Working with dozens of #farmers in southwest MN, we are excited to see what #habitat #installations in corn & soy can do for #bees, natural enemies, & wildlife. #Research.

Look for the featherlike floral clusters in #prairie #restorations and along roadsides throughout Minnesota!

Thanks to everyone who came out to #StateOfAllBees last Friday! It was a great evening, sharing information about bees & the research of the #UMNbeelab. Thank you for your support & enthusiasm for bees, #conservation, and our continued pursuit to understand them better.
Plant some #pollinator habitat. Talk to your legislators. Get involved in a citizen science program. Be an advocate in your city or community for native habitat — what it looks like, why it’s needed. Our panelists share ideas for what *anyone* can do. #SecondMondays
Are you dealing with damaged ag buildings because of our winter weather? Check out this helpful @UMNExt article ow.ly/10LK30o0XhF, and contact your local @usdafsa office for eligibility of financial help. #MNAg
.@dancariveau shares our #pollinator work of @MAPP_umn at #SecondMondays @UMNIonE with reps from @mndotnews, @MonarchsJV, @NatCapProject, & MN legislature. Here @EricLonsdorf asks audience to think about human impacts on the future of MN #landscapes & #naturalresources. #scicomm
Recent photo from a Lyon Cty #MAPPumn site. With turkey & 25+ deer visiting in the winter months, we hope our #habitat #installations attract just as many #pollinators & natural enemies in the summer months. Thank you landowners for keeping watch over these #restoration efforts!
February’s #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth is Agastache foeniculum aka Anise hyssop! This drought-resistant bloom attracts a variety of pollinators, from #bumblebees to #monarchs. When crushed, the leaves smell of mint & licorice. Blue & violet hues make it a homegardener‘s favorite 🌱💜
TOMORROW! The application deadline for #CariveauLab summer technician positions is Friday, February 22. Don’t miss your chance to experience Minnesota’s best season while studying our native bees 🌱🌻🌾 You’ll forget all about this snow! ❄️ More info here: tinyurl.com/cariveaulabjobs
Just a few days left to apply for summer field #technician positions with the #CariveauLab. We’re excited for another year of #restoration & #conservation #ecology #fieldwork! 🌾🌸🐝🌿🌻 More information at tinyurl.com/cariveaulabjobs
Time for Practice Talks! With lots of events & conferences approaching, we want to ensure our #scicomm is clear & concise. Catch talks by Post-doc, @beepunstings, & PhD student, Ian Lane, at the Society for Range Management’s Annual Meeting next week! 🌾 #CariveauLab #restoration

Important info from @UMNBeeLab_Squad colleague @Pollen_Dancer. One tidbit: High density of some native plants may make prairies more attractive to honey bees. Useful info to provide food for honey bees OR avoid potential competition between honey bees and native bees

#Nativeplants provide important food & nesting resources for our #wild #pollinators. In 2018, we planted over 450 million seeds statewide 😳 This year, we’ll be sharing our #PrairieSeedOfTheMonth as we highlight these vital players in #CariveauLab #landscape #ecology. #Nativebees
