Are we supposed to look for bees on flowers? 10:16:11 From Suzy Nicksic to Everyone: what time of the day is best? 10:16:28 From Sam Droege to Everyone: Denise can do the chat maintenance...I have no id? 10:16:32 From Carol Anderson to Everyone: So can we do our neighborhood? 10:16:43 From Sam Droege to Everyone: best is basically 9-4 10:16:51 From Sam Droege to Everyone: but anytime they are out is fine 10:16:59 From Andrea Montoya to Host and Panelists: Can we do our own planted pollinator gardens? 10:17:14 From Sam Droege to Everyone: neighborhoods are great … they tell us about non native/ planted etc flowers 10:17:29 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes def on your own pollinator garden...encouraged 10:18:18 From Sam Droege to Everyone: if you have more time after covering what is blooming in your garden just continue by walking around your neighborhood...things like clover / weeds and your neighbors roses are also of interest 10:18:39 From Susan Caughlan to Everyone: when you say "survey area," do you mean what we're looking at in the moment, or over the entire 30-minute tour? 10:18:45 From Hedy Sladovich to Everyone: Estimating floral abundance and distribution is beyond my skill set. 10:18:59 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes, only bees on flowers...carps and bumbles looking for nests are not part of survey cause they are doing other things. 10:19:19 From Susan Boersma to Everyone: thank you, Sam 10:19:23 From Sam Droege to Everyone: over the whole time period 10:20:17 From Sam Droege to Everyone: don't over think the floral abundance...that is why we use "rank" and number of areas, its all just a way to say...hey there are lots of flowers out there or only a few (or one) 10:20:25 From Sam Droege to Everyone: makes a diff it you have a lot or a few.. 10:20:59 From Sam Droege to Everyone: you really are just doing the floral rank / lots in your head reflecting back on your walk 10:21:58 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we have found in the past that precise measurements are not any better than simple measures that indicated coarse categories that translate to: lots of flowers all over the place or just a few in one place sort of thing 10:22:31 From Jayme Gruden to Everyone: Do you do one or the other abundance and/or rank. Or both 10:22:42 From Sam Droege to Everyone: both 10:23:06 From barbara Benutto to Everyone: what is lot? 10:23:17 From PHIL METZLER to Everyone: Sam - you are making this way too complicated for the non-scientific observers. 10:23:20 From Sam Droege to Everyone: doing both gives us and idea how how much flower area is out there and how distributed those flowers are over the area covered 10:23:47 From Kay Greene to Host and Panelists: Is it ok to just do my yard, but cover it numerous times throughout the seasons? 10:23:49 From Sam Droege to Everyone: I know we struggle with presenting the information...always welcome suggestions for better wording 10:23:55 From Beth Herman to Host and Panelists: there are only 13 lots in the diagram 10:24:18 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes on yard over and over....I do that over the time. 10:24:18 From Laura Kimberly to Host and Panelists: Explain 25 in this daigram—it looks like 17 to me? 10:24:23 From Sam Droege to Everyone: "all the time" 10:24:33 From Carol Stiteler to Everyone: Is this survey only for Ohio residents? 10:24:50 From barbara Benutto to Everyone: I don't see 25 lots 10:24:54 From Sam Droege to Everyone: the 25 comes from 1 box on either side of the transect 10:25:00 From polly cheney to Everyone: helpful 10:25:23 From Andrea Montoya to Host and Panelists: I count 13 lots. What am I not getting? thanks 10:25:29 From Bob Drake to Host and Panelists: should we survey the same path/area more than once? 10:25:29 From Sam Droege to Everyone: think of lots as the same as a suburban "Lot" 10:25:37 From Regina Spotti to Everyone: So, I come upon a patch of goldenrod and that's the only flower that is blooming in that area. The area is huge. How am I supposed to do a "lot"? 10:25:50 From Catherine Lundberg to Host and Panelists: Do different bumblebee species generally like the same flowers or do the individual species have favorites. Is mouth anatomy generally the same for all species? 10:25:53 From abbye carsten to Host and Panelists: I work on a farm and we have 21 native species of natives in rows of approx 200 plants each, how would these be looked at as a lot? 10:25:55 From Sam Droege to Everyone: Sorry on the pic either side of the black transect line is a "lot" 10:27:46 From Charley Winterbauer to Host and Panelists: How do I register to collect? 10:27:52 From Sam Droege to Everyone: so the farm issue...you can literally wander around your fields wherever you see bumble bees or where you wish to travel...then "in your mind" you divide up that walk into 25 lots/sections/cells and decide roughly how many of those cells had each type of flower 10:28:22 From Sam Droege to Everyone: to register email jenan...its on the web site ….and she will have it on the talk...I can't recall the email off hand! 10:28:41 From Denise Ellsworth to Charley Winterbauer, Host and Panelists: Can you enter “how do I register" into the Q and A box? that way others can see the answer. I can’t enter questions myself... 10:29:39 From Sam Droege to Everyone: so if your whole path/transect is nothing but goldenrods then your number of goldenrod lots would be 25...the idea is get a sense of how much of the area is covered by each species of flower... 10:29:39 From Amy Goletz to Everyone: I own a nursery specializing in native plants, although we have non-natives as well. Can I observe here at my nursery or is the nursery too "contrived" an area? Would you prefer observations from the wild? 10:29:40 From Heather Dionne to Everyone: I’s bumblebeecount@gmail.com 10:29:48 From Bob Drake to Everyone: is the score for all species? do some species prefer different plants? 10:30:14 From Sam Droege to Everyone: nusery...yes! we love that any flower species is used....bumbles often use non natives and we don't want to neglect 10:30:42 From Sue Heavenrich to Everyone: here, the carpenter bees are on dandelions - bumble bees are on deadnettles 10:30:43 From Catherine Bollinger to Host and Panelists: My bumbles are currently heavily visiting Gaillardia and Stokesia, along with Rudbeckia, spirea, and abelia. 10:30:59 From Susan Caughlan to Everyone: Dandelion numbers could have been low because the survey was June-Oct and dandys bloom most heavily in the spring, April & May. 10:31:09 From Karen Atwood to Everyone: If you're out for about 30 minutes watching bees, walking in a suburban neighborhood, and you stop at, say, the edge of two yards, one where there's an American holly with bees next to a bit of lawn-desert, adjacent to a flower patch with bees, where you stand in place and count/observe, are those data to be reported as "in the same patch," or would that be two different "lots" or "transects"...? 10:31:11 From Susan Boersma to Everyone: My local Home Depot in Alaska has flowers and trees transported up and it has a lot of bumblebees. I should do a count there. 10:31:12 From Sam Droege to Everyone: bumble specuies have differencese, but lots of overlap...so the smaller set of info where we have a species name is of use, but mostly of the info is between what they use and what they don't use...and the amount of general use. 10:31:15 From Ann Thering to Host and Panelists: I see tons of bumble bees using Joe Pye weed here in Wisconsin. 10:31:29 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes on ak surveys ! 10:31:38 From Natasha Hadden to Everyone: It might help you organize the data if you had a Survey123 option as well for data collection :) 10:31:42 From Susan May to Everyone: Since the surveys are June to October, the bumbles have more choices than the dandelions, but they are early, early bloomers. If bumbles come out earlier in the year and nothing else is blooming, the dandelion is a savior flower for them!! 10:31:43 From Kim McCoy to Everyone: My Fleabane is being visited now by our small native bees. 10:31:43 From Sam Droege to Everyone: joe pye can be good .. 10:31:47 From nancy brewer to Host and Panelists: SD comments are blocking parts of presentation 10:31:51 From Elan Alford to Everyone: how many years will this project be active? 10:31:57 From Sam Droege to Everyone: but joe pye sometimes is ignored if a better plant is around...thus the survey 10:31:58 From Ines Nedelcovic to Everyone: In Reston/Herndon, VA I saw bumble bees on native rose bush. Although they did not sit on them for any length of time. Does that make a difference? 10:31:58 From Laura Kimberly to Host and Panelists: If we see solitary bees, do we note that? What about flies and beetles? 10:32:08 From Linda Hansen to Everyone: I had tons of bees on my roses last year 10:32:19 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we hope the project continues...but we will see if we get funding continued. 10:32:22 From Carol Jelich to Everyone: I have a lot of fleabane in my yard now, will watch for bumblebees on it, curious. 10:32:26 From Sam Droege to Everyone: lots of places to cover! 10:32:29 From Andrea Montoya to Host and Panelists: For those of us out west, will we see any of the preliminary data to apply to our plantings? thank you. 10:32:48 From Sam Droege to Everyone: other bee/fly /beetles wasps are not counted in this survey 10:32:49 From Mary Yee to Everyone: Saw a gajillion bb Qs on Dutchman’s Breeches this spring. 10:32:52 From Sam Droege to Everyone: only bumble/carp 10:33:02 From Kay Greene to Host and Panelists: Is this data just for Bumblebees and Carpenter Bees,,,not other wild bees? 10:33:04 From Cynthia Orth to Everyone: I was unable to be in the webinar at the beginning will we have access to a recording? 10:33:15 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: Send a message to register: bumblebeecount@gmail.com 10:33:17 From Dona Roderick to Host and Panelists: I love my cup plant 10:33:19 From PHIL METZLER to Everyone: Should "time of day" be recorded for each survey: morning, mid-day, late afternoon, early evening. 10:33:30 From Alan Nogee to Host and Panelists: I e had so many bumbles on Joe Pye and roses in Newton, MA! 10:33:32 From Catherine Bollinger to Host and Panelists: All milkweed flowers in my yard are bumble and carpenter bee magnets 10:33:40 From Sue Heavenrich to Everyone: some of the planting guides include generalized "pollinator" plants - that are attractive to syrphids, leps, and numerous sp. of bees 10:33:40 From Ruth Hilfiker to Everyone: A couple weeks ago queens were every where especially all over my low mow fescue lawn. Were they looking for nest sites or getting something from fescue? 10:33:44 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: http://go.osu.edu/askabumble 10:33:44 From John Bocan to Everyone: website: https://u.osu.edu/askabumble/ 10:33:56 From Sam Droege to Everyone: western surveys can be made/submitted , but because our funding is for NE they will be saved to hopefully be done later. We can give people access to the data though to help with double checking the flowers 10:34:03 From Andrea Montoya to Host and Panelists: Can I send it photo of a bumble on a Chokecherry, from last week before I was in the study 10:34:18 From Laura Kimberly to Host and Panelists: Can you describe the Google drive process. I have not used Google drive before 10:34:41 From Sam Droege to Everyone: queens need sugare when they come out of winter...so small mints etc are often favored...one things we are interested in tracking 10:34:48 From Laura Richardson to Host and Panelists: What is "photo time"? 10:35:19 From polly cheney to Everyone: do you want photos of bees on plants or just plants 10:35:23 From Sam Droege to Everyone: google drive is given in the instructions...its basically just like your file system on your computer....but somewhere we can see it 10:35:29 From Mary Jean Sullivan to Everyone: Cloverdale, VA: Agastache is a hot item in my yard - it's a bee feeding frenzy all summer LOL 10:35:46 From Heather Dionne to Everyone: The early plants here that were most popular were ground ivy and autumn olive. I wonder what native species it is “supposed” to be. 10:35:47 From Miles Raymond to Everyone: Will this chat bee available in the recording or elsewhere? 10:36:07 From Elizabeth Dupree to Everyone: Is a particular time of day better than another to look for bees? 10:36:08 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we don't want the bee photos...(too many problems with doing a survey using photos) but if you have a question and a picture we can often hep u out 10:36:10 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: We will save and post the chat and Q & A 10:36:22 From Sam Droege to Everyone: I think the chat will be saved 10:36:36 From Sam Droege to Everyone: any time a day with bumbles out is find...basically 9-5 10:36:44 From Sam Droege to Everyone: 10-2 is peak period 10:36:52 From Laura Kimberly to Host and Panelists: So you set me up with a google drive link, but do I need to create my own account? 10:37:32 From Sam Droege to Everyone: bumbles use lots of non natives and that is of interest...but obviously they must use natives too prior to the invasion...so that will be explored in the dataset 10:37:45 From John Fauver to Host and Panelists: Do you want date last or first? I typically name with date first (YYYYMMDD) to keep everything in date order. 10:37:58 From Sam Droege to Everyone: Jenan is expert...don't think you need to set up an account...we just give you access to our account 10:38:18 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we type data in by hand so date order is your call 10:38:32 From Jean Suplick to Everyone: please post the quizlet link in chat. 10:38:47 From Ela Carpenter to Everyone: Is there a link to the quizlet? 10:38:55 From Karen Robinson to Everyone: https://quizlet.com/sdroege/folders/bumblebee-and-carpenter-bee-identification-practice/sets 10:39:02 From joe Lansing to Everyone: how often do we survey? 10:39:05 From Sam Droege to Everyone: denise is the quizlet on the web site...opss somone posted 10:39:27 From Sam Droege to Everyone: you can survey as often as you like. more is always better...over the year the flowers change greatly 10:39:32 From Sam Droege to Everyone: and bumble bees change too. 10:39:55 From Sam Droege to Everyone: I do my yard every change I get...like yours there are tons of diff flowers for bumbles to choose from 10:40:35 From Heather Dionne to Everyone: I am planning to survey with my Brownie Girl Scout troop this summer as part of their citizen science badge :) 10:40:46 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: Quizlet link here, also on our website under LEARN: https://quizlet.com/sdroege 10:40:51 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yah on brownies and cub scouts 10:41:21 From Sam Droege to Everyone: kids can spot bumbles and take pictures (from 1 cell phone!) and adult can fill out form 10:41:48 From Phyllis Gethers to Everyone: Can you pease post her email again 10:42:18 From Mary Huey to Everyone: can we use I-naturalist instead? 10:42:21 From Sam Droege to Everyone: sorry don't have her email handy! Denise? 10:42:22 From Heather Dionne to Everyone: bumblebeecount@gmail.com 10:42:25 From Tammy Cloud to Everyone: Can the website for the survey cards be posted again? 10:42:47 From Deborah Hammer to Host and Panelists: Can you use iNaturalist instead? 10:43:13 From Sam Droege to Everyone: I-nat can be used for flower id too, but reallyi you don't have to even ID them as we will be looking at all the pictures to verify so "buttercup" is fine...just have to keep track of your names as you go thorugh 10:43:29 From Mary Brennan to Host and Panelists: Google pics has a good identifier option 10:43:55 From Susan Corl to Everyone: I use Picture This--is that an ok app? 10:43:56 From Sam Droege to Everyone: really any id thing you like is useful 10:44:06 From Krista Rakovan to Everyone: What is the difference between Seek and the regular iNaturalist app, which I already have? 10:44:11 From Priya Desai to Host and Panelists: Is this presentation recorded so that we can watch it again/ share with others? 10:44:13 From Sam Droege to Everyone: Picture this/ google id all good 10:44:20 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes on being recorded 10:44:42 From Susan Caughlan to Everyone: I don't see the Seek option on my iNaturalist app 10:44:43 From Jean Suplick to Everyone: iNat / Seek -- use what you need to to ID the plant. 10:45:04 From Sam Droege to Everyone: seek is separate app based on inat technology 10:45:09 From Emmy Ulmschneider to Everyone: What if you go out to survey and see no bumblebees? 10:45:13 From Katharina Davitt to Everyone: when is the new edition of the handy bee manual available? 10:45:19 From Kay Greene to Host and Panelists: Do we take pictures of flowers even if no Bumbles on them? 10:45:19 From Sam Droege to Everyone: seek has advantage in that is does not need a cell connection 10:45:27 From Karyn Molines to Everyone: do we have to be consistent with our plant names between different surveys? EG "Daisy" on survey 1, "aster" on survey 2? 10:45:49 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes, all flower need pictures...soe we can double check flower ids...important to know what flowers they don't use! 10:45:57 From Bob Drake to Everyone: Newcomb's Wildflower Guide is good too... its a book 10:45:59 From Robin Gorham to Host and Panelists: Are non-survey photos of bumbles on flowers useful? 10:46:11 From Brian Forschner to Host and Panelists: It is still not clear to me what this project is trying to prove or what thesis it i teting. 10:46:14 From Molly Kenney to Everyone: If you are out-not surveying, and you happen to see a bumble bee on a plant, can we just submit that one? 10:46:20 From Sam Droege to Everyone: no you don't have to be consistent between survey on your short cut flower names 10:46:26 From Mark Lavatelli to Everyone: is there a resource (glossary) linking Latin and common names of bumblebees? 10:46:27 From Laura Kimberly to Host and Panelists: Will you include a chat transcript on the website? 10:46:50 From Sam Droege to Everyone: sorry, just observations of bumble bees outside of a survey don't fit in!!!! 10:46:58 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: seek by iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app 10:47:10 From Andrew Dewey to Everyone: keying plants is easy with Newcomb - a 10x loupe helps. 10:47:10 From Jayme Gruden to Everyone: what if you have 3 varities of the same plant - I have 3 different Rose of Sharons and bumble bees love all of them - different colors etc 10:47:18 From Sam Droege to Everyone: bumble names cross ref is up on many sites... 10:47:33 From Karen Atwood to Everyone: Am I understanding correctly that you only want pix of flowers/plants, not of bumbles or carpenters? 10:47:38 From Robert Poor to Everyone: Can I just image flowers plus bee and flower of each kind and just submit the images with no id of flower or bees. 10:47:48 From Sam Droege to Everyone: hmmm, I would indicate different varieties of the same plant to be conservative...plant breeders change pollen/nectar! 10:47:53 From Jim Sirch to Everyone: maybe Scientific names might be better as there are lots of different common names for the same plant - often localized 10:47:55 From Ruth Hilfiker to Everyone: Do we record all flowers even ones that don't have bees on them? 10:48:07 From Ned Siegel to Everyone: Do you prefer ID of flowers down to spp or can you lump Pycnathemums for instance together of you have multiple spp thereof? Echinaceas, too, etc. 10:48:13 From Reenie Rice to Everyone: I’ve been watching bumbles/carpenters for at least a month, I’ve noted which flowers they’re on but don’t have dates, etc. Are you interested? 10:48:36 From Shawn Kerstetter to Everyone: Great, thanks. 10:48:36 From Sam Droege to Everyone: so we don't want any bee pictures...just flowers you don't need to id them but it is often useful for you to keep track of the flowers while surveying. 10:49:01 From Susan Caughlan to Everyone: If I can positively ID the flower do you still need pics? 10:49:09 From Cody Feuerborn to Host and Panelists: If I am seeing the same plant at different sites/times and know what it is, do I need to take a picture of it every timer I encounter it? 10:49:36 From Nancy Plerhoples to Everyone: Why are you limiting the study to bumble bees? 10:50:17 From Jean Suplick to Everyone: What was the name of the bumble project on iNat? 10:50:28 From Karen Atwood to Everyone: If there are pollen sacs, is that a worker, not a queen? 10:51:06 From Robin Godwin to Everyone: How do you tell the sex of the bee? 10:51:12 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we prefer to species of flower, but you can just call them pyc 1 2 3 and maybe we can id them...at times we have to lump after that fact because of flower id issues, but better to track separate during count....diff speices of same genus = diff attraction 10:52:34 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we give hints of how to tell the gender of a bee in instructions, but most of the time you will prob just have "gender unknown" category....time of year ...spring = almost all females...later in the summer males come out and complicate things 10:53:03 From Sam Droege to Everyone: pollen sacks = female....we don't separate queen / worker...too tricky visually 10:53:20 From Maggie Landry to Everyone: males do tend to complicate things for sure :) 10:54:04 From Bob Heath to Everyone: do you want GPS coordinants? 10:54:15 From Joyce Fry to Everyone: When do you think this presentation will be available for review? my Internet is really unstable and I missed a lot of it. Thank you. 10:54:45 From Clara Glade to Everyone: Is it ok if you have to miss a few weeks because you will be out of town? 10:54:46 From Catherine Bollinger to Host and Panelists: This is going to be too hard for me -- the lot stuff, and you aren't even interested in NC. Bye! 10:55:15 From Carolyn Hufford to Everyone: Do we do this daily? 10:55:21 From Mary Huey to Everyone: how can we save the chat? 10:55:38 From nancy brewer to Host and Panelists: How did you come up with the divisor 25? How about the number 10??? 10:55:38 From Robin Godwin to Everyone: What is the time frame for the data collection? 10:55:40 From Judy Komorowski to Everyone: Which states are doing surveys? 10:55:47 From Laura Kimberly to Everyone: Seems to come down to how fast you are walking your area—if slower, smaller lots; if faster more lots??? 10:56:36 From Karen Atwood to Everyone: So you're looking for relative abundance of one floral species to another. 10:56:56 From Robert Poor to Everyone: have you thought about doing a video of a person doing a survey and let us virtually go along to learm 10:57:07 From nancy brewer to Everyone: How about just dividing the area by 4? 10:57:17 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes on relative abundance, but by amount of flowers and the amout of the transect with the flowers 10:57:23 From Alissa Caple to Host and Panelists: Yall are explaining it well. Thank you! 10:57:58 From Sam Droege to Everyone: we use 25 to standardize 4 prob not enough info 10:57:58 From nancy brewer to Everyone: I can think in terms of FOUR QUADRANTS. 10:58:11 From Pam Ogasawara to Everyone: How do you account for when the flower is blooming. For example yarrow might not be blooming when you survey therefore no counts. 10:58:29 From Jean Suplick to Everyone: I LOVE that you are focusing on floral species. Can't wait to get started. 10:58:41 From Sam Droege to Everyone: if you want to think in 4s then think 4s 6 separate time along your route. 10:59:12 From Sam Droege to Everyone: flowers ultimately are the savior of bumble bees 10:59:17 From Kate Chasson to Everyone: Do you have a good resource for identifying bees? 10:59:23 From Andrea Montoya to Everyone: Scenario: I go out to survey and there are a lot of native flowers but no bumbles but there are carpenters. Do I record this survey? 10:59:26 From Denise Ellsworth to Everyone: https://quizlet.com/sdroege ID quizzes 10:59:41 From Sam Droege to Everyone: need flowers when queesn come out, when workers start and when queens tank up for winterk 10:59:52 From Sam Droege to Everyone: yes if only carpenters 11:00:14 From Mary Huey to Everyone: Just calculated for my yard and a 20 by 20 square foot area is 1/25 of my garden. So if I walk 20 feet and look 10 feet on either side, that's a lot. 11:00:17 From Sam Droege to Everyone: I can't recall if we give links to id ...but there are numerous sites that try that...xerces 11:00:29 From Lisa Lebovitz to Everyone: Thank you so much for a very helpful training—looking forward to getting started! 11:00:37 From Mary Jean Sullivan to Everyone: Thank you! 11:00:41 From Patrick Keating to Everyone: this was great. love the enthusiasm! 11:00:41 From Mary Huey to Everyone: Thanks for posting the chat!! 11:00:45 From Jean Suplick to Everyone: Great meeting! 11:00:48 From Aida Pita to Everyone: Thank you. 11:00:49 From Toni Frances Borge to Host and Panelists: Thank you for the presentation. 11:00:50 From Carol Jelich to Everyone: thanks! 11:00:50 From Tammy Cloud to Everyone: Thank you. 11:00:51 From Ela Carpenter to Host and Panelists: Thanks Jenan & Sam! 11:00:53 From Beth Herman to Everyone: Very helpful, thanks, can't wait to get started! 11:00:54 From Jane Egan to Everyone: Thank you for the excellent information.
