** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** LAND MANAGERS ARE INCREASINGLY TASKED WITH CREATING INVENTORIES OF BEES AND IDENTIFYING AND CONSERVING THE PLANTS THAT THEY PREFER. THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE LAND MANAGERS LACK THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE HUMAN CAPITAL, AND THE STATISTICAL OR BIOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCEDURAL SUBTLETIES THAT ACCOMPANY BEE SURVEYS. BUT EVEN WHERE BEES HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY SAMPLED, THE DATA IS LARGELY INACCESSIBLE TO LAND MANAGERS. THE INFORMATION IS OFTEN RESTRICTED TO INTERNAL PUBLICATIONS SHARED AMONG TAXONOMISTS AND LESS FREQUENTLY WITH LOCAL LAND MANAGER COLLABORATORS. OUR PROJECT ADDRESSES THESE PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS ALIGNS WITH NIFA POLLINATOR HEALTH: RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS PRIORITIES BY: (A) EXPANDING AN EXTENSION PROGRAM RELATED TO POLLINATORS IN AGRICULTURE AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS TO TRAIN VOLUNTEERS TO CONDUCT HIGH LEVEL SURVEYS OF WILD BEES AND THE PLANT HOSTS THEY THESE BEES ARE MOST CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH (PRIORITY F), (B) EVALUATING THE CAPACITY OF THESE EXTENSION VOLUNTEERS TO IMPLEMENT STANDARDIZED SURVEY PROTOCOLS ON PRIVATE AND FEDERAL LAND AND (C) WORKING TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE TOOLS AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT WOULD LIKELY BE ADOPTED BY STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE HEALTHY POLLINATORS, NAMELY TOOLS TO VISUALIZE WILD BEE AND ASSOCIATED PLANT HOST DATA IN ORDER TO INFORM MANAGEMENT DECISIONS (PRIORITY C). THE WORK BUILDS ON THE FINDINGS OF A PREVIOUSLY FUNDED USDA NIFA FUNDED RESEARCH COORDINATION NETWORK FOR A NATIONAL NATIVE BEE MONITORING PLAN.
