As a science-based organization, the Xerces Society produces dozens of publications annually, all of which employ the best available research to guide effective conservation efforts. Our publications range from guidelines for land managers, to brochures offering overviews of key concepts related to invertebrate conservation, from books about supporting pollinators in farmland, to region-specific plant lists. We hope that whatever you are seeking—whether it's guidance on making a home or community garden pollinator-friendly, advice on developing a local pesticide reduction strategy, or detailed information on restoring habitat—you will find it here!

The EPA needs to make incident reporting a priority, for bees and other wildlife. The agency needs to coordinate its own internal databases, and sync its information with the newly developed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Injury and Mortality Reporting system. It is also critical that the EPA update the thresholds for FIFRA 6(a)(2) incident reporting. Currently, they are set so high as to severely limit the number of wildlife incidents reported. Furthermore, the EPA needs to make these data-systems electronic.
