This recording is a part of the Bee Biogeography and Systematics Talks (BeeBST), a series of monthly webinars on bee systematics, taxonomy and biogeography. It is aimed at a general audience of people interested in bees and pollinators, and especially with those interested in bee classification and biogeography.

This series is presented by the Packer Lab and the Centre for Bee Ecology, Evolution and Conservation at York University, Canada.
