Bees of Minnesota checklist published!

Exciting news! We reached a big milestone in bee research in Minnesota and have published the checklist of the bees of Minnesota in the journal Zootaxa (https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5304.1.1).

Also I have put a copy of the paper on researchgate for people who don't have access to Zootaxa: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371633461_A_checklist_of_the_bees_Hymenoptera_Apoidea_of_Minnesota

In it, we documented 508 species in the state. It was a lot of work and many people contributed, especially the fine folks from the MNDNR. There are still a lot of gaps in our knowledge and many areas that need more research, but this is a really good first step.
