Understanding and conserving bees in effective and comprehensive ways requires coordination and methods standardization. This symposium will showcase advances in the standardization of wild bee research, including for data collection, specimen storage, and data management. It will also provide guidance on advancing coordination and standardization in other areas of entomology.
