Feb 25th, 2020 : Bee-ware

Most people are aware of European Honey Bees that are so important to food production.
Also familiar with big old Bumblebees, maybe wood eating Carpenter bees, and those asshole wasps. I always see small things
that look like bees but no idea what the are, which is not surprising since we have 4,000 kinds of native bees.



Quote:
Maryland Biodiversity Project (MBP) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on cataloging all the living things of Maryland. Our goal is to promote education and conservation by helping to build a vibrant nature study community. The project was started in June 2012 by Bill Hubick and Jim Brighton. Our community has cataloged over 18,000 species, including over 10,000 species with photographs, and feature the work of more than 1,000 naturalists and photographers.
Part of their goal is a 112 page Field Manual of Maryland Bees pdf you can download free.



When entertaining the neighborhood bees the conversation can get awkward when you don’t know the proper names of their
body parts. For instance you can ask a bee about it’s middle leg where you really shouldn’t ask that of the man next door.



The MBP is also cool, about using their stuff for you own project whether it be educational, scientific or just trying to get laid
by impressing someone.

Neat outfit, fun post.
I think the metespecterum may be slightly mis-placed.

I Googled metespecterum and got one hit, your post.

Kind of fun though, first time I've ever gotten one hit from them.

I think it was a whimsical alteration of the word metepisterum found in last diagram.

My comment of meta... was just a joke, spoiled by my misreading it off the diagram as sexobon pointed out.
I have gotten Google hits referring to Cellar posts before. They are watching.

Remember a thing called Google Whacking?

No, not that, put that thing away.

Google Whacking was where ya entered a two word phrase, without quotation marks, in hopes of receiving exactly one search result.

It's almost impossible now (pretty damn difficult back then), but, back in the day I achieved a Google Whack with the phrase marmalade fetish...

I keep running into every damn thing I google there's a band or product that's grabbed that word or phrase. Then the first page or more is places to buy the shit or reviews of the music, lists of lyrics, etc. I never had to go past the first page before.
