Know Your Pollinators: Wild Bee ID For Smartphones

"Oh, look, a bee!"  You might say such a thing upon encountering a bee, but what else would you know off the top of your head? 

There's no need to store bee information there, now that the Center for Food Safety has introduced its Wild Bee ID site and app for smartphones. 

As the name implies, the app can identify both bee and the plant it is visiting, so you can learn both the pollinator and the pollinated.  Joey Lee from CFS visits with details on the development of the program.
