Shalene Jha is an assistant professor in UT Austin’s Section of Integrative Biology.
Professor Jha, researchers and students will be monitoring the native bee population in our garden. They will start in May by placing catch cups in selected areas of our garden. They will be clearly marked and will be removed the next day. They will visit our garden three different times during the year and again in 2014. The data they collect in 2013 will be made available to us in 2014. This data will help us to better understand what kind of bees visit our garden and what type of plant material they prefer for shelter and food.
