	Alternative Pollinators: Native Bees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although bees are recognized as some of the most important pollinators in almost all ecosystems where flowers occur, their precise roles in pollination are not well documented (4).
		The alkali bee was among the first of the solitary bees to be used for pollination of alfalfa in the western U.S. This native bee occurs naturally in areas west of the Rocky Mountains (16) and nests in moist alkaline soils near natural seeps and springs (15).
		Bees are supplied during the fall, winter, and early spring as overwintering adults in their nesting tubes.

		Missouri's native bees are an abundant and diverse group of insects that live in virtually every kind of terrestrial habitat in the state, including prairies, forests, wetlands, backyards and hedgerows.
		Bees that attack leafcutter bee nests don't attack sweat bee nests, and vice versa.
		Bees are superior pollinators because of their reproductive requirements for pollen and nectar, their adaptations for collecting pollen and their habit of visiting flower after flower.

		By observing female sweat bees from larval to early adult stages, she can investigate how changes in gene expression influence and are influenced by the development of caste-specific behaviour.
		A second avenue of research is the use of DNA sequences for analyzing phylogenetic relationships among closely related sweat bee species, and in fact, for identification of cryptic species and subspecies, the existence of which greatly complicates the interpretation of behavioural data unless the species are confidently delineated.
		She is focusing on the development and expression of caste-specific behaviour in social sweat bees, using microarray analyses for both intra- and inter-specific comparisons of gene expression patterns.

		This fact, coupled with the observations that newly eclosed bees and young adults are sometimes fed by older, dominant bees in multi-female nests (W.T. Wcislo and V.H. Gonzalez, unpublished data), further suggest that it is advantageous for the dominant female to induce a bee to remain in the natal nest.
		The dominant female is proportionally older relative to the youngest bee as the number of females per nest increases, suggesting there is a greater likelihood of superceding as the dominant becomes senescent or dies, and thus the younger bees have greater incentive to avoid risky tasks.
