The legendary USGS Bee Lab is being shut down. The 2026 budget proposal defunds the Ecosystem Mission Area, which supported the lab. If their science helped your work, there’s still time to make your voice heard. Read below. (1/4)

Looking for help on how to efficiently process LOTS of insect field specimens. Currently, we pin insect w/hand written site/date label then ID insect w/hand written label then create new printed labels w/unique ID #. Seems inefficient! Does anyone have a better workflow that they can share? THX!
