The Buss Bus Australia has now ended. You can read our travel blog here: thebuzzbus.plant-evolution.org/?page_id=99

Welcome to BeesCan lab! Stay tuned for news and information about bees and other pollinators of the Canary islands sites.google.com/ull.edu.es/bee…

I’m sad to report that Ron McGinley, co-author of this book and many other important works on bees, and a long time major contributor to The Bee Course has passed away.

We are hiring a postdoc to develop machine learning methods to extract phenological information from images. Ecologists with ML or data science skills are strongly encouraged to apply! Remote working is possible. Please RT and spread the word, thanks! lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LSU/job/1079-D…

#Postdoc alert! Two-year postdoc scholarship to explore changes in the #functional #diversity and composition of #plant communities worldwide using a fantastic long-term database in collab with an awesome international team. Please spread the word/apply! gu.se/en/biological-…

A Chilalictus bee lethargically forages on a damp and moody day in western Victoria. The flowers are an undescribed species of Prostanthera. Stawell, Vic. #ozpollinators #ozplants #WildOz

IDing #OzPollinators for @thebuzzbus - have you ever seen anything so beautiful 😍?! #buzz @NatGeo #Xylocopa #jewelsofnature #taxonomy

@arjenkin Thank you! Well done in spreading the bee curiosity!

Just me evilly getting my fellow classmates hooked on seeking out #nativebees as if there isn’t a mountain of assignments due. I blame the @thebuzzbus for sparking the curiosity ✨🤩✨

How and why do bees buzz? Two weeks to go until @nicrodemo's talk on buzz pollination. Book your free place here: sebiology.org/events/jxb-ser…

Postdoc available: Join our lab @PlantEcoEvo_UU for a 2-3 year postdoc on buzz pollination funded by @hfsp Competitive salary, employee benefits, and vibrant research environment. Deadline 1 November. Email me with any questions. Info and app here: uu.se/en/about-uu/jo… Pls RT!

@Mikey_Whitehead @dfield007 @plant_ecology @InsideNatGeo It went very well but three weeks is not enough! Hopefully there will be a second part!

@thebuzzbus @dfield007 @plant_ecology @InsideNatGeo Hope it went well!!

That’s a wrap! The Buzz Bus Australia has come to an end. It was an amazing trip! Thanks @dfield007 and @plant_ecology for all the science and fun over the last three weeks. Thanks @InsideNatGeo for funding. Stay tuned for results!

We’re being watched. New blog post: thebuzzbus.plant-evolution.org/?p=408

A wonderful little #nativebee found on campus @EdithCowanUni Yes, we have native bees on campus! @thebuzzbus #pollinators #bees #edithcowanuniversity

@BeeBabette @plant_ecology @dfield007 They are stunning!

@thebuzzbus @plant_ecology @dfield007 Love Xylocopa! This was my first sighting (used with permission by Bee Day)

We saw a platypus! The real one is slightly smaller than this sculpture but much harder to photograph! And we did find bees, including one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Read the latest blogpost of the Buzz Bus here: thebuzzbus.plant-evolution.org/?p=363

@dfield007 @BeeBabette @plant_ecology We found a few. But only at the very end of the trip!

@BeeBabette @thebuzzbus @plant_ecology Nice. Any native bees around?
