Sydney is a Biologist and Lab Manager of the USGS Bee Lab at the Eastern Ecological Science Center in Laurel, MD.
Sydney is the lab manager of the USGS Bee Lab. She specializes in developing techniques for collecting, processing, and databasing native bee specimens collected through pollinator surveys across the United States. She promotes education on native bees through outreach events to the general public and helps teach the Pollinator Field Sampling and Laboratory Techniques course, which is designed to teach DOI researchers proper pollinator sampling methods. She also uploads high-resolution images of native bees on the Lab's Flickr and Instagram pages.

Science for effective pollinator conservation and improved food security
Pollinators, including bees, flies, butterflies, bats, birds, and other animals, are critically important to U.S. ecosystems and agriculture. Recent reports of declines of pollinator species have led to widespread actions to conserve pollinator habitat and recover imperiled species, but resource managers need accurate data and science to support management actions. USGS pollinator research helps...
USGS Bee Lab at the Eastern Ecological Science Center
The USGS Bee Lab supports research on native bees. As part of that program we and our co-located USFWS partners develop identification tools and keys for native bee species, take public access hi resolution photographs of bees, work with partners from all the states of the unions, design and test bee counting techniques and document bee/plant associations as well as double checking researchers...
