Penn State study finds 8 new bee species in Pennsylvania

Volunteers from across Pennsylvania collected and photographed thousands of bees, discovering 8 species in the state for the first time.

I loved her performance in "The Lady in the Van".

Her wings are starting to break down at the edges. End of bee season blues. When you see the wear and tear from the results of her efforts to provide for her brood, you feel responsible to save the bit of the world that will provide for her daughters next summer. #bees#beastsoftherabbitbrush

Oh yes I do!!!

Thank you!

Is there a guide that could help us take better photos?
