I come from a background heavy in entomology, which is the study of insects. I began my university education in a zoology program at the University of Guelph, which shockingly did not have insect diversity as a mandatory course for the degree. I say shocking, because approximately half of the world&#8217;s animal diversity is insects! Insects are found in just about every habitat, and differ greatly in their appearance, behaviour and overall ecology.<\/p>\n<p>My appreciation of insects began by volunteering in a lab sorting through insect samples that came from Costa Rica. I marveled at the shapes and sizes of the specimens I was looking at, and I have worked closely with insects ever since. I continued my studies in entomology in the form of a master\u2019s degree looking at insect pollination. I analyzed the diversity of non-bee flower visitors to agricultural crops, the amount of pollen they carried, and the composition of the pollen carried by each insect. Prior to and during my master\u2019s research I worked on a long-term Ontario bee diversity survey program, where I helped collect, identify, database and analyze 20,000 bee specimens.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-93uvvia-efa19e22e3b6cec261fe563016b2fba0 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-msexlfth-cc01565121730197f1b9b5050e2c581d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-msexlfth-cc01565121730197f1b9b5050e2c581d img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-msexlfth-cc01565121730197f1b9b5050e2c581d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-msexlfth-cc01565121730197f1b9b5050e2c581d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-54828 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-54828 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/BumbleBeeFieldWorkWhenAGeneralistMeetsASpecialist_EllenWithBumbleBee_E.Richard.png' alt='' title='BumbleBeeFieldWorkWhenAGeneralistMeetsASpecialist_EllenWithBumbleBee_E.Richard'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8bkk2f6-586b9fafa83d9d99b59587698bfe3590\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-8bkk2f6-586b9fafa83d9d99b59587698bfe3590{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-8bkk2f6-586b9fafa83d9d99b59587698bfe3590 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-msexlwqy-d20fe361efd37e6cf4fd6a140e1d4205'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Ellen very happy with a two spotted bumble bee male on her cheek.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-8007n36-371f59a174800c5a328186a55820043c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-msexm2n7-690d493f5a9804bebfb993adddd68abb'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>I have worked with many groups of insects, but this summer I got to hone in on one group in particular: bumble bees (genus, <em>Bombus<\/em>).
