Doug Yanegadyanega@ucr.edu(951) 827-4315For any bees in the Americas, I can ID to genus on sight. Those genera well-represented in our collection (mostly those studied by Timberlake, and/or primarily Western) are much easier to work with for IDs to species. We have one of the larger bee collections in North America, around 250K total, including ~30K of Perdita alone.Entomology Research Museum
Univ. of California, Riverside
While I presently do work mostly within our department assisting with IDs, for smaller volumes of material - or for groups revised by P.H. Timberlake - I am available for species-level IDs on a limited basis. Larger volumes would likely require reimbursement to my department.

Not: Andrena and Dialictus. Some other tricky groups like bidentate Nomada, Melissodes trinodis/agilis, the Bombus perplexus/vagans/sandersoni group (etc.) I'd probably exclude as well
New England area$0-lowI am still quite the amateur but spending last summer working with Tracy Zarrillo at CAES really helped me up my ID skills. I'm comfortable giving ID for most anything besides Andrena and Dialictus. Some other tricky groups like bidentate Nomada, Melissodes trinodis/agilis, the Bombus perplexus/vagans/sandersoni group (etc.) I'd probably exclude as well. I likely wouldn't ask for financial compensation (or just a very low rate), as I would love to get more experience under my belt.

Joel Gardnerclickbeetle3364@gmail.comI specialize in Dialictus and can ID specimens from
anywhere in Canada, the US, or northern Mexico. I can identify other
bees from the midwest or eastern US+Canada.		I have a lot of experience identifying bees for people. I've had to
turn down some requests to focus on my research, but I still fit in a
bit. Western Dialictus take priority.

By the way, please note that our collection is growing, with ca. 100,000 specimens from this wide region, and we are always open to collaborations in order to widen knowledge on these bees.

All bee groups, especially Melissodes. My weaknesses are Andrena, Perdita outside NM, Dialictus, and Colletes outside NM.
all Melissodes, other groups SW US and northern Mexico.
none, but travel money to visit collections with large Melissodes holdings would be nice. Specimen exchange would also sweeten the pot.

I am open to stretching my knowledge farther south as well. timing is key. I have more time in the summer.

Environmental Solutions & Innovations, Inc.		Mike Arduser and I are planning some upcoming bee ID workshops (we have one in St Louis Jan 6-10 and another in March) and I am hoping to start several more specific bee ID courses on difficult groups and genera in the near future. I am also developing some bumble bee workshops and training.
If you have requests for particular workshops or genera, want to sponsor a bee workshop, have any questions, or if I can be of assistance just let me know. Many thanks and have a good one,

Although I cannot take on any more specimens at the moment due to the high volume I have to ID from our own projects, I would be happy to work one on one for a day or two with anyone who wants to visit my lab at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and go over how to use DiscoverLife, and other keys that I frequently use. I have a lot of notes, and “cheat sheets” as well that I can share

North Carolina State University
I have approx. 4 years of experience ID-ing bees, 2 of which were spent primarily on Meliponini, Euglossini, and Ceratinini species from Costa Rica and 2 years on bees collected from the RMBL area, which includes a high number Lasioglossum species. I would be happy to expand my experience to the Eastern US as well! I have been compensated hourly and through coauthorships (in progress) for my contributions in the projects I've worked on thus far and am very interested in expanding my taxonomic horizons and collaborations!
