My work involves increasing awareness around the diversity of native bees and establishing baseline population data to support conservation of insect pollinators in Pacific Northwest ecosystems. To that end, I provide specimen identification of bees, as well as flies in the family Syrphidae to the extent currently possible in Western North America. I offer thorough trainings in bee identification, both in the field and with the aid of a microscope. Additionally, I am able to provide site-specific inventory and monitoring and consult on survey methods, pollinator-focused restoration, and land management. Field and studio photography is available upon request.
