A Teachers' Guide to Bees
A Teachers’ Guide to Bees What is this Guide? A Teachers’ Guide to Bees is designed to help teachers establish a clear pathway for incorporating bees into the school curriculum to achieve learning and teaching objectives and outcomes via diverse pedagogical approaches, with bees as the central thematic element.

Les Abeilles Des Graminées Ou Lipotriches Gerstaecker, 1858, Sensu Stricto (Hymenoptera Apoidea Halictidae Nomiinae) De La Région Orientale
Les abeilles des graminées ou Lipotriches Gerstaecker, 1858, sensu stricto (Hymenoptera Apoidea Halictidae Nomiinae) de la Région Orientale Document de Travail du 24 Décembre 2012, unpublished document ! par Alain PAULY (Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Département Entomologie, Rue Vautier 29, B-1000 Bruxelles, Belgique). Introduction Le genre Lipotriches sensu stricto est caractérisé par le plateau basal des tibias postérieurs des femelles incomplet. Les deux sexes ont le col du pronotum lamellé. Le calcar interne des tibias postérieurs est généralement scuplté par une crête lamellée continue et non des dents. La plupart des groupes de Lipotriches récoltent le pollen des graminées, ceux qui ont les soies des tibias postérieurs en lasso le récoltent exclusivement. On rencontre 58 espèces valides en Afrique plus une dizaine d’espèces nouvelles, et 28 espèces valides sont étudiées ici de la Région Orientale. Trois espèces atteignent le nord de l’Australie.

Native plants are usually best for native bees, and can be used in both wild areas and gardens.

Recent studies have changed our understanding of these bee groups in profound ways. It has become apparent that forms of social organization, caste de- termination, and sex allocation are more labile and complex than previously thought, although the terminologies for describing them are still inadequate. Furthermore, the unexpected complexity means that many key parameters in kin selection and reproductive skew models remain unquantified, and addressing this lack of informa- tion will be formidable. -

The first goal of this study was to assess diversity of insects in a perennial switchgrass crop in South Carolina. A three-year study was conducted to sample insects using pitfall traps and sweep nets at the Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence, SC, from 2007- 2009. Collected specimens were identified to family and classified by trophic groups, and predominant species were identified. -
Wasps and Bees in Southern Africa
SANBI Biodiversity Series 24 Wasps and bees in southern Africa by Sarah K. Gess and Friedrich W.

The Act expands the mandate of the former National Botanical Institute to include respon- sibilities relating to the full diversity of South Africa’s fauna and flora, and builds on the internationally respected programmes in conservation, research, education and visitor services developed by the National Botanical Institute and its predecessors over the past century. The vision of SANBI: Biodiversity richness for all South Africans. SANBI’s mission is to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people.

Grass Flower- Visiting Bees of the Peradeniy a University Park
Proceedings of the Peradeniya University Research Sessions, Sri Lanka. Vol. 9. November 10, 2004 GRASS FLOWER- VISITING BEES OF THE PERADENIY A UNIVERSITY PARK WA THSALA N. LIY ANAGE AND JAY ANTHI P. EDIRISINGHE Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Peradeniya A study of grass flower-visiting bees of the Peradeniya University Park was conducted in 7 grassland types selected on the basis of their location and degree of disturbance. The grassland types are (l)mowed lawns (2)open areas periodically slashed (3)shady slopes under large trees (4)shady areas under scattered treelets (5)undisturbed embankments and slopes (6)along roadsides and foot paths and (7)areas subjected to periodic burning. Bees were collected by sweeping the grass using a standard insect net. Particular attention was paid to grass inflorescences from where bees that had alighted on flowers were collected. The study documented 12 species of bees in 8 genera and in the 3 families Anthophoridae, Apidae and Halictidae. The bees colIected are Pithitis binghami Cockerel (F.Anthophoridae); Apis cerana Fabricius, Apis dorsata Fabricius, Trigona iridipennis Smith (F.Apidae); Lasioglossum serenum Cameron, Leuconomia sp., Lipotriches notiomorpha Hirashirna, Lipotriches exagens Walker, Lipotriches fulvinerva Cameron, Lipotriches new sp. Hoplonomia westwoodii Griboda Pseudapis oxybeloides Smith, all of which belong to family Halictidae. Thus, the majority of the bees (67%) belonged to the family Halictidae and to the genus Lipotriches. Of the Apidae bees, Apis florea was not recorded from grass flowers. Family Megachilidae (with 29 bee species in Sri Lanka) was absent from the grass habitat. The collected bees were examined for pollen on their body.
