Workshop 1: Existing Monitoring Efforts
This workshop was co-organized by Sam Droege & Hollis Woodard, with a set of guest speakers who shared some lessons they have learned from their large monitoring efforts (including some non-bee projects and a UK pollinator monitoring project). Workshop discussions focused on the question, "What methods/infrastructure from existing monitoring efforts could be co-opted for a national native bee monitoring program?"
