The Science of Species
Identifying and understanding the bees of North America

I am a bee taxonomist at the University of Minnesota in the Cariveau Native Bee Lab. My current research focuses on the identification and taxonomy of Minnesota bees, pollen gathering behavior, and bee conservation. I received my PhD at Utah State University, studying native bees under Dr. Terry Griswold.
