KQED’s DeepLook has put together excellent science videos on a few of the bee species that we study. In some cases, we have provided input on the script or photos for these videos. For other bees, our collaborators were involved in the video production (Osmia) and we also study the microbiomes of these cavity-nesting bees. Check them out here:
