Bee Aware - Blogs and brochures focus on native bees

The increasing interest in pollinators is leading to many new resources that share information about native bees and native plants. Here are some of my favorites:

Nelson DeBarros at Penn State created an interesting brochure "Conserving Wild Bees in Pennsylvania" http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/FreePubs/pdfs/uf023.pdf

Rachel Winfree's lab at Rutgers has one for New Jersey "Native Bee Benefits"

And finally, for global interest, here is a blog about insects and plants in India
