In our efforts to show the usefulness of the Bee Lab we have quickly put together a list of facilities and places we have helped doing bee identification. 

 

At this point we are just talking about places that we have physically helped identify all or some of the bees associated with a project, group of tricky bees, or similar.

 

It is sorted by state. (not including other countries at this point)

 

We may include lists of people we have helped in many ways…but not now.

 

You can send me off-list any additions at droe...@gmail.com

In the Shed



While we are gone,

our neighbor finds

a long-dead buck in our shed,

steeped in snow and wood.

A broken leg took him down

and he found refuge.

The deer that had wandered the hills,

had run in front of a car.

This is the story we make up to

understand how he got there.

It’s sad, the part about dying.

It scares us, we want to turn

our faces away, drag the deer

back to the forest.

But there is something else

we should look at—

a small gladness that he found

shelter close to our house,

that he came out of the wind and snow

to curl up near the wood pile.

All deer die.

This one is a testament.
