The US is on the cusp of dramatically transforming how we conserve bees and other insects, which have been historically excluded from many major conservation efforts. This presentation will share some of the exciting new directions for US bee conservation, the impact these projects will have on our imperiled bee fauna, and how you can learn about and support these efforts.
