Spring has finally arrived in Northern Nevada. The breaking of winter storms and being able to find my feet on my favorite trails feels like my depression is melting away with the snow.

While I confirmed at least one native bee yesterday, and a few gorgeous wasps, this silly honeybee was caught in a snowfield. I’m not such a monster to leave the bee beast struggling. So scooped from the snow and set on a sunny log. Hopefully she returned to her hive and told in her dance of my kindness (and that there was not nectar thataway).

It would be nice to assemble a list of people on Mastodon who are involved in the science & management of #NonnativeSpecies #AlienSpecies #InvasiveSpecies #BiologicalInvasions. Maybe by replying to this post?
