We have an ongoing project in Chittenden County called the Vermont Wild Bee Survey. We have survey blocks scattered throughout the county in which some volunteers have adopted to survey once a month in three places. We lost a few folks for a variety of personal reasons and we are looking for more help. If anyone is interested in adopting a block (you can share duties among a few of you too!), please check out our project (
http://val.vtecostudies.org/projects/vtbees/) and if it still interests you, sign up on the form or drop me an email. We'd love more help learning about our bee fauna!
ps. we've already documented a new bee species for Vermont! There's lots to learn!
