Tri-colored is common name in WI 00:53:16 Denise Ellsworth: You’re right…one of the challenges with common names… 00:53:55 Patricia Milligan: Yes, definitely! Often multiple names too! 00:58:42 Eudora Watson: How valuable are photos of bumble bees? I thought another speaker said it was difficult to identify BB with photos and samples were much preferable. Thanks 00:59:42 Denise Ellsworth: Can you post this in Q & A? I’m not able to move it there… 01:00:15 Jeffrey Baker: Hello from Alpha School in Crooksville, Ohio! 01:00:44 Eudora Watson: thanks! Sorry, I missed that reminder in the intro : ) 01:00:56 Denise Ellsworth: 🙂 01:01:45 Laurel Treviño Murphy: I can attest to the fact Sam stated - at least I am not allergic to bumble bees, while I’m very allergic to Apis mellifera. 01:06:00 Laurel Treviño Murphy: Yay! 1 of my 5 wicking beds is dedicated to sunflowers, the others have veggies and herbs! 01:07:16 SherryAnn Cordover: But not mowing encourages ticks 01:10:17 Steven Garske: European earthworms have really decimated spring ephemeral plants in hardwood forests of Upper MI and northern WI. 01:11:41 John Bocan: https://jarrodfowler.com/specialist_bees.html 01:11:56 Marcia Carsten: ericaceous shrubs are cranberries, blueberries, native azaleas etc. 01:12:08 Gary Fish: Very lucky to work with Sam! 01:12:15 Jomichele Seidl: Thanks Marcia 01:12:57 Bilal Khan: Nice and continuous efforts of Denise always appreciated. 01:14:03 Clare Maffei: https://jarrodfowler.com/specialist_bees.html 01:19:52 Lisa Denys: Cup plant is hugely popular with the bees at my SE Michigan home. 01:20:27 RKathie McClung: I failed to get the link 01:21:18 Ken Koellner: You should look at this project — https://beecology.wpi.edu/website/home It has some research on lists of plants for three threatened species in Massachusetts. 01:21:45 Marcia Carsten: The links will be on the BB site from this series, http://go.osu.edu/bumbles in case you missed any of the links. 01:23:15 Laurel Treviño Murphy: Could Sam please share the plant table that he had briefly put on the screen, again? 01:24:06 Cheryl McKeough: The various state "Federation of Garden Clubs" may have groups of "Junior Gardener" Clubs of young people that would be interested in participating. 01:24:31 Laura Bunton: Lol, so I guess Texas data is out then?! 01:24:35 Marcia Carsten: We will make sure that is also on our bumbles site. It went by pretty fast. http://go.osu.edu/bumbles 01:24:54 Maggie Frantz: What is email for bumblebeecount? 01:25:40 Marcia Carsten: I think it was bumblebeecount@gmail.com. Again, went by very fast😊 01:25:52 Maggie Frantz: Thx 01:25:55 Denise Ellsworth: bumblebeecount@gmail.com 01:26:19 Marcia Lyons: house sparrows are not native - many native sparrows are definitely in trouble!!! 01:27:01 Laurel Treviño Murphy: Generalists/specialist bees focus on pollen, not nectar. Crow & sparrow bees may be going for the nectar, not the pollen 01:27:32 thana mcgary: Depends on what kind of sparrow 01:28:00 Andrew Oestreich: Can you share the report on the website 01:28:10 Marcia Carsten: We will! 01:29:19 Marcia Carsten: Our native thistles are also very popular with bumble bees! 01:29:44 Kathleen Bradley: Porcelain berry is invasive- do not plant! 01:30:15 Allison McMurray: When I grow giant sunflowers, there will be a whole assortment of little bees all over them, it's wonderful. 01:30:17 Maureen Lorenz: Enjoyed this. It’s all about the plants (said the botanist). Great presentation for Earth Day. 01:30:41 Katny Cahalan: What happened? DId the class start earlier than 2 PM? 01:30:44 Kate Kramer: A native sunflower? Or the cultivated kind? For supporting 100 baby bees 01:31:02 Kathleen Bradley: 1 PM- EDT 01:31:04 Katny Cahalan: Am I in the right place?\ 01:31:11 Allison McMurray: It starts at 1pm EST 01:31:12 B Tryon: @Katny - the class started at 1 p.m. Eastern time 01:31:15 Marcia Carsten: Webinar started at 1pm Eastern. You can watch it again from the website. 01:31:19 Rachel Kranz: Some folks in the Q&A are asking for spelling of Jenan's name: Jenan El-Hifnawi 01:31:24 Katny Cahalan: Was supposed to be 2 PM 01:31:56 B Tryon: @Katny - it is being recorded, so can be watched later at least! 01:32:01 thana mcgary: There are some specialists sparrows at least in relation to habitat 01:32:02 Laura Bunton: @Katney, you have to adjust for time zone differences. 01:32:03 Kathleen Bradley: It's been at 1 PM since the beginning- now Eastern Daylight Time. 01:32:22 Kathy Taylor: I have about 80 common milkweeds. They are covered with bumble bees. 01:32:55 Rachel Kranz: Some folks in the Q&A are asking for spelling of Jenan's name: Jenan El-Hifnawi 01:33:31 Loretta Shields: Thank-you so much for organizing and hosting such as wonderful learning series for bumblebees. It is much appreciated!! Take care!! 01:34:39 Laurel Treviño Murphy: I’m a case in point, super allergic to Apis mellifera, no reaction to 3 consecutive stings of bumble bee. 01:36:10 Kimberly Stoner: I have a collection of literature about allergies and bees. I can send some references 01:36:24 Lynn Purse: I get a 6 inch welt from a bumblebee sting, have to use an epi-pen 01:36:43 Anthony Antonucci: Here is a link about a zoom session tomorrow on Rockin' Rhodies and Azaleas by Sunnyside Nursery: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rockin-rhodies-and-azaleas-tickets-307136873657 01:37:42 Lydia Pan: “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” (re allergic reaction to bumble bee stings or other rare events 01:37:52 maria Ball: Thank you for these course. Very helpful. 01:38:21 Allison McMurray: But in terms of public health, this is all that is ethically available: see the jokes re "stinging a lot of people and seeing who dies" 01:39:55 Lydia Pan: What I mean is it is difficult to be absolutely sure it would NEVER occur. (And Sam did allude to artificial circumstances of people who work with commercial bumble bees and their high exposure is more likely to lead to sensitization 01:40:44 Allison McMurray: This is true of all public health questions, yes 01:41:06 Mary Simonelli: I have seen queens in purple deadnettle in the past 01:41:32 Lynn Purse: Lydia, I understand but still, it is dangerous to say that bumblebee stings do not trigger an allergic reaction. 01:41:57 Sue Heavenrich: no mow may is also beneficial for lepidoptera 01:42:20 Bernard Paquette: What’s a weed except a plant we don’t want growing where it is growing. 01:42:32 Pam Phillips: i see queen bumbles on grape hyacinth (muscari) and bleeding heart. i'm adding natives but there arent much yet. 01:43:12 Nancy Larson: Are rhododendrons toxic to Bumbles 01:43:28 Paul Landkamer: teasel, at least in Missouri, is invasive! 01:43:56 Rick Exner: We have many many bumblebees on our hyacinth. Don't think it's native, but... 01:44:06 Victoria Blachman: Is there a particular project on iNat we tag? 01:44:15 Elizabeth Beck: Thank you for another wonderful webinar. What really stuck out for me today is the super-approachable talking points that can be shared with others. And the survey approach may be a great one to use to teach observation and engagement. 01:44:40 Sue Heavenrich: No mow may is for a broad group of pollinators, not just bumbles. Lots of leps are hiding in leaf litter - and they won't emerge until it warms up. 01:45:15 Rick Exner: We have many bumblebees on hyacinth 01:45:15 B Tryon: @Katie Shipka - don't dig up natives you find n the wild. Buy them from local soil & water conservation district, conservation clubs, Wild Ones, etc. Or plant seeds. 01:45:27 Whittaker, Devon L: We’ve seen so many bumbles in Central Ohio this week. Makes me happy 01:45:44 Rebecca Lewis: bumblebeewatch.org 01:46:21 Susan MCFAUL: What are leps referred by Sue Heavenrich? 01:46:36 Linda Andersen: Is vosnesenskii (sp?) in california a “sparrow/crow” type since it’s so common in CA? 01:47:36 Whittaker, Devon L: I would love a Carpenter Bee support group 01:48:41 Dave Hobbins: Thank you! 01:48:41 moto z3: Thank you! 01:48:50 Laurel Treviño Murphy: Thank you very much for a wonderful series! 01:48:52 Sara Scudier: Thanks for a wonderful presentation! 01:48:55 Dennis Hoops: Thank you! 01:48:58 Whittaker, Devon L: Thank you! 01:48:59 Anja Lowrance: Thank you for this series of talks.
