Perhaps sometime more than pollinator gardens? 00:35:28 adrian jones: solitary bee population should we discourage honey bees in our garden? 00:37:13 LOIS LEVITAN: Finger Lakes Region of Upstate NY: working on Ecological Advisory Committee of a natural cemetery that has the multiple goals of enhancing pollinator habitat and biodiversity, enhancing bird habitat, and maintaining the natural cemetery. Formerly a keeper of honey bees, so generally fascinated by the topic. 00:38:25 Brandie Dunn: Native bee enthusiast/citizen scientist interested in conservation issues pertaining to Native bees. 00:40:19 polly Cheney: yes 00:40:21 Alex Curtze: yes 00:40:21 Holly Walker: yes 00:40:21 Melina Lozano Duran: yes 00:40:22 Joyce Rebar: Yes 00:41:14 Joanne Smith: Did you say that this entire webinar will be posted on your tube channel later 00:44:42 Katherine Angell: That's right, Joanne! 00:45:52 Katherine Angell: Just a reminder that we aren't raising hands - we're asking everyone to type their questions into the Chat box. 00:46:34 Katherine Angell: Feel free to post your questions any time, but remember that Rich and Vicki will be pausing for a Q&A break after they both present. 00:54:55 Donna Bailey: does use of ant pesticide adversely affect bees 00:55:25 Coty Sifuentes-Winter: How many honeybees are in a typical hive Apiary? 00:56:49 Katherine Angell: Vertebrate pollinators also include rodents and reptiles. 00:59:06 Robyn Underwood: A hive can have up tp 60,000 bees. An apiary is a group of hives in one location and that depends on the beekeeper. 01:00:47 Emily Sun: Is it known why Nosema affects certain bumble bee species rather than others? Are currently common species at risk or resilient to the viruses? 01:03:42 Coty Sifuentes-Winter: Can we get a bibiography of the used research in the presentations? 01:06:53 Shawndra Miller: I don't know what self-incompatible plants are. 01:07:02 adrian jones: slides are not changing. please check 01:07:45 Katherine Angell: Try reloading the page Adrian - sometimes there is a lag for some viewers. 01:08:36 Amy Campbell: How do you assess homey bee density and what is considered high density? 01:09:56 Nicola Ripley: What is the message for backyard home gardeners 01:10:33 Nicola Ripley: Message for gardeners with one or two hobby hives in a garden 01:10:39 Katherine Angell: Shawndra asked this and Laura Garrison answered "Self-incompatible plants require an outside pollinator, like a bee--they can't pollinate themselves successfully. 01:11:34 Mike Popejoy: Given the lack of knowledge about native bees that you mentioned, how practical is the implementation of the BMPs? Would it not be more prudent (following the precautionary principle) to take a stand against honeybee placement in natural areas? 01:12:25 Mary O'Brien: Do you have any examples where honeybees have been placed on public lands where your recommendations have been followed? 01:12:29 Deb Zureick: Where can one find information about the locations of listed pollinators? 01:13:12 Tricia Vaillancourt: Thank you very much! 01:13:26 Alex Curtze: Thank you! 01:13:30 Jonathan Sypher: Thank you! 01:13:49 Brandie Dunn: I appreciate this information so much. Thank you Rich! 01:13:52 Emily Sun: Yes 01:13:52 Holly Walker: yes 01:13:53 Alex Curtze: yes 01:13:54 Jonathan Sypher: Yes 01:13:57 polly Cheney: yes 01:14:01 Joyce Rebar: Yes 01:14:03 JoAnne Sabin: lots of echo 01:14:48 Mike Buser: Honey Bees Once were native to North America and did die out, so I disagree a bit. 01:15:02 Joanne Smith: What can I as a single homeowner do? What can the Hampton Master Gardeners do in our aboretum and in our outreach do to have an impact to help turn things around 01:15:09 Rich Hatfield: The IUCN Red List is a great resource for finding local bumble bee species of concern. 01:16:05 Rich Hatfield: https://www.iucnredlist.org/search 01:17:28 Melville Kennedy: Better!! 01:17:30 JoAnne Sabin: a little better, but not great still 01:17:58 Rich Hatfield: You're welcome! 01:19:10 Katherine Angell: try reducing your own volume - that may help. 01:19:32 JoAnne Sabin: The echo is still pretty bothersome 01:20:12 Amy Bleisch: The audio is still poor 01:20:19 Rich Hatfield: FYI, many of the studies that I mentioned are reviewed - and the management recommendations can be found - in this document: https://xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/16-067_02_Overview-of-the-Potential-Impacts-of-Honey-Bees_web.pdf 01:20:32 Laura Steiner: Adjusting volume does not help 01:21:26 Elisha Mueller: Hi Rich, you recommend apiaries be 4 miles from high value pollinator habitat but I have also read that areas with more pollinator resources lead to less competiton between native & managed bees. We permit honeybees on our wildlife management areas in North Dakota, which most are dominated by KBG and brome. So I wonder if its better to put hives in restored areas with a lot of resources that might support both native & mnaged species or put them in areas with less resouces, which might not support both but would avoid creating competition in our higher resource areas? 01:23:58 Rich Hatfield: Good question. You also have to consider the introductions of diseases to these areas - which is probably a more significant long-term issue. 01:24:34 Donna Bailey: What are best practices to support native bees 01:24:41 Rich Hatfield: But, I think we need to start working with working lands/farmer to find foraging areas for honey bees that are free from pesticides. 01:25:09 Rich Hatfield: Find and create foraging areas for honey bees. 01:25:41 Mary O'Brien: I am interested in knowing of any groups/individuals who are taking a stance against any placement of honeybee apiaries on public lands. 01:25:58 TJ Savereno: Will a transcript of the chat session be available afterwards, or is it recorded along with the session? 01:26:37 Laura Steiner: It is recorded - see the little red light in the upper left hand corner of the screen. 01:26:51 Katherine Angell: We don't usually include a transcript, but considering how many questions and answers are included, it might be a good idea. I will post it on our Webinar page on naturalareas.org. 01:27:22 JoAnne Sabin: the previous question was about the chat being recorded, not just the presentation 01:28:13 Katherine Angell: We don't usually make the chat available after, but considering the volume of questions, I will make it available on our Webinar page on naturalareas.org. 01:29:01 Katherine Angell: Also under "More" there is a command to save chat that i think you can access. 01:29:10 TJ Savereno: Thank you. 01:30:57 Laura Steiner: I do not see a "more" option 01:31:15 TJ Savereno: I don't either. 01:32:29 Rich Hatfield: I think the more option might only be available for panelists... 01:33:54 Emily Sun: If you right click on the displayed chat box you can click "Select All" then right click again and select "Copy". You can then paste it into a Microsoft Word or Notepad file. 01:33:57 Katherine Angell: the audio is good quality for me, so that means our recording is likely good as well - so if needed, you can revisit this presentation. Sorry for the inconvenience! 01:34:48 Katherine Angell: Emily Sun thank you! 01:36:36 TJ Savereno: Got it. Thanks. 01:37:29 Amanda Dillon: Mary O'Brien- I work at 3,300 acre preserve in NY- we have had an individuals ask to place hives in the preserve and we have turned them down 01:39:02 Brandie Dunn: I would like to learn more about what is being done to control spillover of commercial B. impatiens from greenhouse operations since there appears to be problem there. What regulations are in place in that industry to prevent them from entering the wild populations? 01:39:45 Rich Hatfield: Brandie, where is "here" 01:39:55 Brandie Dunn: Northern Illinois 01:40:16 Rich Hatfield: The industry is pretty unregulated at this point, unfortunately 01:40:42 Rich Hatfield: Though, the listing of RPBB might eventually lead to regualtions as now the USFWS might have regulatory authority 01:41:05 Rich Hatfield: But industry will push back very hard. 01:41:36 Melina Lozano Duran: How can I communicate (in numbers) how big of an area you need for one hive? how big of an area needs to be planted with native plants? maybe number of plants? Just so I do not discourage people on practicing beekeeping, which I want to, but that will be a bad idea. 01:41:50 Amanda Dillon: I am curious if anyone thinks this growing body of research demonstrating negative impacts of non-native honey bees on native bees will lead to more state or government regulation of honey bees? It seems that if it weren't for honey, these animals would be declared an invasive species 01:43:36 JoAnne Sabin: There is also the pollination of our food to consider. We don't have a honey bee problem, we have an industrial agricultrue problem. It seems short sighted to not solve the root cause - our current food production system. 01:44:50 Joanne Smith: Just a comment - I am sure the lobby for honey bees is much larger, stronger, richer and politically driven than that for native bees! 01:45:29 Michelle Bock: OSU Bee Lab 01:45:44 Rich Hatfield: bringbackthepollinators.org 01:45:54 Mary O'Brien: To Amanda Dilon: Would like to talk with you after; we in Utah (Forest Service) are finding the exact opposite of getting regulation. 01:46:36 Michelle Bock: Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative 01:48:08 Faith Krogstad: Mary O'Brien: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources does not allow hives on public lands we manage. 01:48:34 Amanda Dillon: Mary O'Brien- adillon@albanypinebush.org 01:48:42 Nicola Ripley: Is the message then that small scale garden beekeepers should NOT have a hive or two? 01:49:10 Michelle Bock: There are many pesticides used in Natural areas for invasive species. How does that effect native bee species? 01:49:14 Katy Pye: yes, about the last question about NOT having a hive or two. 01:50:30 Deb Zureick: Is there any information available on other introduced pollinator species and the affect they may also have had on our native species? 01:51:52 Katy Pye: thank you for the answer about back yard hives. I’m next to a wild land and trying to support native bees, but neighbor has a hive. Sharing plants and seeds with him. 01:52:35 Katy Pye: Is there a way to track the natives over several years to see if there are declines? For an amateur? 01:53:24 Carrie McLaughlin: Great webinar! Very much needed for a long time now, and so pleased that y'all put this together. Looking forward to updates, please. Carrie McLaughlin, TEXAS POLLINATOR POWWOW coordinator 01:57:10 Michelle Bock: Thank you for this webinar. Its's a good start to the conversation that participants are starting to ask and think about as we build up habitat and preserve habitat for pollinators in an area that is 75% agriculture. 02:00:00 JoAnne Sabin: If we don't change our current farming practices, we also have to provide forage for honey bees. 02:01:44 Ryan Bartlett: Thank you for the webinar! Ryan Bartlett; Organization: Colorado Native Bee. 02:02:02 Amanda Dillon: Thank you!! 02:02:07 Barbara McAdam: Thank you for your statement Michelle and thank you Rich for looking at all sides of the issues. 02:02:13 Ronda Koski: If one considers the honey bee a 6-footed livestock species...their forage needs is very different from that of 4-footed livestock species. Large areas of North America have been drasticlly altered over time to provide forage for these 4-footed livestock species. Many native flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen to native bees and honey bees contain compounds that are toxic to those 4-footed livestock species... those plant species have intentionally been erradicated from millions of acres where these plant species once existed. Incentives to replant these native plants would benefit native bees and honey bees. 02:02:17 Chris Firestone: Thank you very much NAA for hosting. 02:02:17 Jonathan Sypher: Thank you! 02:02:46 Carrie McLaughlin: Regarding that paradigm shift for agriculture: regenerative ag is the way we need to go. Even General MIlls is successfully experimenting with that. More resources on this for folks: Blue Dasher Farm, Ecdysis Foundation, Wild Farm Alliance, Hedgerows Unlimited 02:02:48 Tim Osborne: you all! 02:02:49 Tricia Vaillancourt: Thank you! Bee Well! 02:03:03 Katy Pye: Thank you, this has been great! Look forward to continuing the conversation. 02:03:11 Michelle Bock: Bee the change :) 02:03:25 Holly Walker: thank you 02:03:25 Robert Schwartz: Thank you all!
