\"Skyler<\/p>\n

Our guest today on PolliNation is Skyler Burrows, a taxonomist working with Utah State University, the USDA Bee Lab, and formerly with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute\u2019s Virginia Working Landscape program. Much of Skyler\u2019s work has been based in the trapping and identification of pollinators with the help of citizen scientists, and monitoring their diversity in a given area. His most recent project has been to create an online guide to aid in the identification of bees that may be invasive to the US, that will include a non-dichotomous key to the Megachilidae genera of the world with high quality images to target an audience without background in taxonomy.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s episode, we will learn about Skyler\u2019s work with pollinators, his projects with citizen scientists, and how you can get started in taxonomy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings like \u2018Bees In Your Backyard\u2019 are really helpful, but until you have the bee in your hand, it\u2019s really difficult to know what you\u2019ve got.\u201c – Skyler Burrows<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
