Ming Tree Real Estate and Sotheby’s International Realty have jointly announced a new vacant land listing for $2.2 million in Crescent City. The 1.24-acre, now-vacant premium parcel is located at 200 A St., once the site of the long-vacant eyesore “A” Street Medical Office building that was razed last year, after the city declared the property to be a nuisance and in violation of several state health codes.

Superior Court-appointed receiver Richardson Griswold Associates removed the structure, including the concrete slab and the hardscape and overgrown vegetation to near-pristine status.

The now-vacant parcel listing comes with Coastal Conservancy

Letters to The editor

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Guest Columns

We need role models Do we have role models anymore? We used to talk about who is, or who isn’t a good role model. The closest person that fills that description that I’ve seen recently is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, Taylor Swift. However, she is not billed as such. Rather, she is described as “the editors’ assessment of the individual who most shaped the headlines over the previous 12 months, for better or for worse. In a divided world, where too many institutions are failing, Taylor Swift found a way to transcend borders and be a Source of Light.”

This might be news to many of is who haven’t heard of her, but her story is inspiring in a world that is very much in need of good role models, far beyond her career success. To learn the amazing details of her career, you will need to read Time Magazine’s Person of the Year issue.

In her own words, “She’s modeling radical self-acceptance on the world’s largest stage, giving the audience a space to revisit their own joy or pain, once dismissed or forgotten. Getting to this place of harmony within her past took work.”

One clue to her success in such a cutthroat business is that she grew up on a Christmas Tree farm in Pennsylvania with her younger brother Austin, away from the grim reality of modern cities, and especially show business.

Her father Scott was a stockbroker with Merrill Lynch, and her mother Andrea was in marketing. So the family was certainly in touch with the world.

“For building a world of her own, that made a place for so many, for spinning her story into a global legend, for bringing joy to a society desperately in need of it, Taylor Swift is Times 2023 Person of the Year.”

I’m asking those of you who can tell us about role models here in town. I think it’s a great theme for the New Year. I personally would nominate Sunny Baker, a friend of mine. She arrived here with her two small boys about 15 years ago from Korea. She has gone from a restaurant waitress with a modest knowledge of English, to an important position with Social Services. But, most of all, any time I mention her name to anyone, they say, “Oh, I love her.”

My interest in writing this letter is to encourage others to contribute information about great role models you know of. Teachers, ask your students to write about their role models. You don’t have to be Jesus to be a role model. Above all, don’t let disgusting drugs rob you of your power. aylor Swift quotes the Beatles lyric, “Take these broken wings and learn to fly.” The same goes for Big Government that “helps you” when you need to learn to help yourself, My mother told me that when I was a child, I would say “Do Self.” I still think that’s an important concept.

IN MY VIEW

What are they for?

The Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority held a Board of Directors meeting on January 4. The meeting was attended by Supervisor Chris Howard, Harbor Commissioner Wes White and City Council members Blake Inscore and Ray Altman. Only a few members of the public were in attendance.

Alec Dompka, an economic development specialist from UC Davis University Extension, gave an update on the preliminary results of a Needs Assessment that they are conducting for our county.

This is an effort to identify what is lacking or needed for our community to have successful economic development programs.

Needs Assessment The four most mentioned needs are increased staff capacity, housing, offshore wind, and increased collaboration. It was found that there is a need for increased staffing to work on economic development.

Although some agencies have staff who work on economic development, they also have other duties.

Housing was identified as a critical need that impacts economic growth.

The general shortage of housing makes it harder to recruit teachers, medical professionals, peace officers and other workers.

I’ve and supporting the good work she has been doing so she been studying this stuff can continue. a long time. So when a friend or acquaintance asks Katherine and Andres Monreal me about a word, I usually Crescent City have something intelligent to say.

But all that went out the window recently when, at a small gathering of friends, I was asked about “nonplussed.” Everyone else at the table had an opinion on the subject. The consensus was that people tend to use “nonplussed” to mean the opposite of what it really means. “Right, June? What say you, June?”

To which I said me — nothing. I had a fuzzy recollection of once being aware of how this word worked. But for the life of me, I couldn’t remember what the controversy was

economic prosperity and resiliency in a region. The CEDS must be updated every five years to qualify for funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration.

The Del Norte County CEDS is due to be updated soon, but the results of the Needs Assessment shows that our CEDS is still relevant for Tri-Agency to use today to guide their activities. Seventeen of the 23 issues identified in the Needs Assessment are already identified in the Del Norte CEDS. There is a laundry list of economic development projects in the Del Norte CEDS that Tri-Agency could work on.

Based on the Needs Assessment, Alec Dompka concluded that there is a need for county-wide economic development coordination and implementation.

Joint Powers Agreement The Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) defines the purpose, powers, and restrictions of the Tri-Agency Economic Development Authority. Updating and approving the revised JPA is a condition for the member agencies to continue to participate and contribute funding for the continued operation of Tri-Agency.

The JPA defines the purpose of Tri-Agency is “to implement, coordinate and administer general economic development programs on behalf of the member agencies, including but not limited to, public works projects, projects which raise the economic and educational levels of the residents of Del Norte County, projects which provide jobs, and projects which assist industrial development.”

In response to concerns over past Tri-Agency lending practices, a restriction on their powers was added to the prior draft.

Tri-Agency “shall not operate any form of lending program, included but not limited to revolving loan programs and intermediate lending programs…”

After the revised draft JPA was circulated to the member agencies, one new addition was requested by the County. It is a restriction of power which states Tri-Agency “shall not support or pursue activities involving the offshore generation of wind energy.”

This was added to appease one or more Supervisors who oppose offshore wind development, but this policy statement is the political equivalent of hiding your head in the sand. If we don’t talk about it, it won’t happen.

Offshore wind will likely happen off our coast and there is very little local government can do to stop it.

Even if we have concerns or complaints about the possible negative effects of offshore wind, we are better off being at the negotiating table. If we are not involved there is a no chance that our concerns will be addressed or the negative impacts mitigated.

Tri-Agency is the obvious choice to represent our concerns.

Offshore Wind

Community Benefits Wind development companies will often negotiate Community Benefit Agreements (CBA) with local governments to help financially compensate for negative impacts that may result from offshore wind development. Tri-Agency is well positioned as a regional agency to negotiate a CBA for our community.

If Tri-Agency is prohibited from pursuing “activities involving offshore generation of wind energy,” then they would be prevented from negotiating mitigation and community benefit agreements. If local agencies are not coordinated, wind companies will more easily divide and conquer to negotiate less beneficial agreements.

The Tri-Agency Board members each appeared to recognize the detriment of adopting this new restriction on JPA involvement with offshore wind, but conceded that they did not want to allow this one issue to torpedo the Tri-Agency all together.

— or even the definition.

Clearly, it’s time for a refresher on “nonplussed.”

The verb “nonplus,” means to perplex or baffle.

But you don’t hear it much as a verb. People don’t often say, “Yo, don’t nonplus me, dude.” They could, but they don’t.

Mostly, you hear it in sentences like “He was nonplussed,” in which it’s a verb participle being used as an adjective.

Using past-tense verbs as adjectives is standard, by the way. Think: “broken heart,” “painted fence,” “canceled flight,” “known quantity” and “waxed floor.”

“Nonplussed” can be spelled with one S or two, but the double-S form seems to be preferred by dictionaries.

As a noun, “nonplus” means a state of perplexity or a quandary. But this,

too, is rare. You don’t often hear “The math questions on the test really threw me into a nonplus.”

In fact, this is how “nonplus” first entered the English language in the 16th century: as a noun meaning “quandary,” which was picked up from the Latin “non plus,” which means “no more.”

Here’s an example from 1593 cited by Merriam-Webster. “I am brought to a nonplus, O Lorde what shall I saie?”

It took another century or so before “nonplus” evolved into a verb meaning “to cause to be at a loss as to what to say, think, or do,” which is basically what it means today.

But here’s where “nonplussed” gets controversial: About 100 years ago, people started using “nonplussed” to mean “unfazed” or “relaxed.” Take,

Kevin Hendrick Accepting this new amendment may be politically expedient but it is bad policy.

Hope Abides It is my continued hope that the City, County and Harbor can come to agreement on a reformed Tri-Agency, but I am starting to lose faith that this will happen. It is a bad sign that the agency is facing such strong headwinds and it may not be possible to bring this across the finish line.

I strongly recommend that the County agree to remove this prescribed restriction on involvement with offshore wind.

It doesn’t make sense to withdraw from consideration a potential new industry.

People can be skeptical but there is no harm in continuing to monitor this process. There might be harm if we disengage.

To the people that are opposed to entrusting Tri-Agency with regional economic development, I ask: if they are against Tri-Agency, what are they for? Who will lead economic development, if not Tri-Agency?

I think we should give Tri-Agency a chance to succeed. I am glad to see that the Tri-Agency Board of Directors is pressing ahead to reanimate this moribund agency.

The member agencies are not moving with the urgency I think is warranted, but there is forward progress.

for example, this passage from Jack London’s “White Fang”: “ … when that god elected to laugh at him in a good-natured, bantering way, he was nonplussed. He could feel the pricking and stinging of the old anger as it strove to rise up in him, but it strove against love. He could not be angry.”

In other words: He was “nonplussed” because he didn’t get mad.

According to dictionaries, this is incorrect. But I would caution you against seeing this issue — or any language issue — in terms of absolute right and wrong. After all, just a few short centuries ago, “nonplussed” wasn’t an English word at all. And for at least a hundred years, it was wrong to use it as a verb or a participial adjective, which we now consider right.

Air Crescent City Harbor District helps shoulder the financial From page A1 burden of the local crab fishermen flight from Crescent City to Crab season off the Del Norte coast opened January 5. Which should be good news.

But due to the determination by the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the local crab industry will be under a 50% gear reduction.

These recommendations are based on confirmed entanglement for humpback whales and leather back sea turtles.

The Risk Assessment will be ongoing through the crab season and may change. In the meantime, the Crescent City Harbor

District is lending local crabbers a hand.

“The Crescent City Harbor District does not believe the fisherman should shoulder this burden alone,” said Harbor Master CEO Tim Petrick. “In consultation with representatives of the fishing fleet, we decided since they are making half in January, their crab pot storage fees will be halved for January 2024.”

Petrick said he wanted to thank Josh Mims and RB Pincombe for advocating so clearly on behalf of the crabbers.

Rancheria acquires property on South Beach

BY ROGER GITLIN The Triplicate

A multi-acre parcel on South Beach has been acquired by the Elk Valley Rancheria.

The funding for the $725,000 purchase comes from the California State Coastal Conservancy.

The property sits on the ocean side of Highway 101 across from Sand Mine Road.

Elk Valley Rancheria will oversee the 9.19-acre parcel for the benefit of wildlife habitat enhancement and public access and for the removal of invasive species. The property was acquired to protect open space and implement sea level rise adaptation measures.

The Tribe’s association with this property is steeped in history. Accord-

ing to Tribal lore, tribal membership lived in Del Norte County for over 1,000 years in villages located on villages on bluffs overlooking the Pacific and along the banks of local watersheds.

Plans call for establishing walking trails and creating vehicle access in designated parking areas.

Elk Valley Chairman Dale Miller lauded the Coastal Conservancy for the grant to help preserve the property for generations to come.

“The site of the property is of importance to Rancheria’s citizens, both for cultural and subsistence purposes and the acquisition of this property is consistent with the Tribe’s community-oriented goals including ensuring environmental stewardship,” stated Miller.

Oakland on March 17. Advanced Air hopes to retain existing airline staff that wish to continue their aviation career and transition employment to Advanced Air on March 17.

Airport Director Ryan Cooley paid homage to Contour.

“We are thankful for the years of service Contour has provided our community and for bringing regional jet service to our region,” stated Cooley.

A smooth transition of service is anticipated, including the refund of Contour tickets issued after March 16. The Essential Air Service agreement with BCRAA funded by the Department of Transportation operates currently through the end of September, according to Cooley.

Advanced Air is headquartered in Hawthorne and its equipment is a 30seat Dornier 380 regional jet aircraft. Advanced Air will mirror the Contour schedule to Oakland and plans to offer service to the Southland, through Los Angeles Hawthorne airport. Cooley revealed there will be two additional flights and shuttle service to nearby LAX. Advanced Air has committed to $30,000 per year in local marketing and advertising.

OBITUARIES Mary Burgess 9/28/1945 - 12/25/2023

Resident of Crescent City, CA. Mary went home to be with the Lord on December 25, 2023, at the age of 78. She’s the daughter of Ancie and Ernest Lair and sister of Beva Tinker, Millie Jackson, and Barbara Lair; niece, Roxanne Jackson, nephews, Zack Jackson, Gregory Jackson, and Chris Johnson; grandniece, Kara Jackson, grandnephews Niko Fonseca and Austin Johnson.

Mary was a joyful person, full of life and laughter. She was a bright light who always put other people first. She had a kind, fun, loving and generous spirit. All her life, she took care of others. We, her family, will never forget her generosity — evident in all of the adventures she

took us on and the gifts she gave us. But most of all, we loved her kind and fun-loving heart.

Mary took wonderful care of her last surviving sister, Millie Jackson, and continued to care for her after she went to live at Azalea Gardens.

Visiting Millie often, Mary would bring her little presents, take her on mini adventures to get hamburgers, and so much more.

Mary’s generous spirit extended to the staff and residents at Azalea Gardens. They loved her homemade cookies and Jello and all the other treats she would bring them. Mary also donated clothing and other items to the residents, as well as to the South Coast Humane society, as she always loved animals.

Mary’s loving heart and generous nature extended far and wide, as she shared with family members, friends, and people in need. She will be deeply missed, but we know that we will be with her again someday.

Her funeral will be held Sunday, January 21, 2024, 3:00 pm at Cornerstone Assembly of God, 1281 Douglas Street, Crescent City, CA 95531.

Phyllis Jean Rickner Phyllis Jean Rickner, devoted wife and mother is survived by Mike, husband of 48 years, son Kenny and daughter-inlaw Miranda, daughter Sarah, along with her three brothers and 1 sister, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.

Phyllis was loved by more people than she knew.

Phyllis was always willing to help people even when she herself needed help.

Always working, she never liked sitting still.

Phyllis will truly be missed.

Birondo Jr., in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Nicolas R. Birondo Jr. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: February 16, 2024 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 855 238-5118 for information regarding the

trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-966103AB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 855 238-5118, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-966103-AB to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney.

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE

Four Humboldt textile artists receive 2023 Victor Thomas Jacoby Awards Devva Kasnitz “A Disability Ethnography of Spinning” This Eureka-based artist, a medical anthropologist and disability studies scholar, likes to spin into yarn various fiber such as sheep, goat, alpaca, dog and cat. Her current project is to bring “more recognition of art into this humble utilitarian practice of spinning fiber by sharing it and building community.” She is particularly keen on combining her yarn with unique textures and baubles such as tiny sand dollar fossils from the South Fork of the Van Duzen River.

Humboldt Area Foundation+Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF) is proud to announce that four Humboldt County artists – Devva Kasnitz, Jessica Trudeau, Michelle Sonnenfeldt, and Sasha Lyth – are recipients of the 2023 Victor Thomas Jacoby Award.

The Humboldt County weavers, spinners and dyers were selected for their artistic vision and creativity. Each recipient receives $10,000 to support their work. The four artists were recognized during the Victor Thomas Jacoby Award Reception Dec. 13, as were recipients from 2021 and 2022, when the annual award reception was put on hold due to COVID concerns. The 2021-22 recipients were Annette Makino, Zak Shea, Claire MacKenzie, Daniel Willson, Steph Thomas, Shawn Gould, Mo Harper-Desir, Marceau Verdiere.

Every fall, local artists are encouraged to apply for the Victor Thomas Jacoby Award and submit examples of their work and share their vision for innovation and how they are pushing their art to the next level. This year’s focus was on textile artists specializing in weaving, spinning, and dyeing.

“Victor’s passion for the arts has ignited a legacy of empowerment, weaving dreams into reality through the tapestry of creativity,” says Sydney Morrone, Grants and Scholarships Manger.

“His spirit lives on as HAF+WRCF supports Humboldt County artists and craftspeople as they continue to expand the boundless horizons of their artistic pursuits.”

Jessica Trudeau “Weavings Ability to Educate, Impact, and Contribute” A weaver who earned a BFA from The Maine College of Art in 2003, Trudeau is drawn to weaving’s ability to alchemize natural materials into a conglomerate of tactile and visual experience. “The raw depth, complexity of pattern, and dimension of color in the natural world has been a long-standing inspiration to me and has fueled my trajectory in the field of weaving. I believe the very nature of weaving is the implementation of alchemizing nature into a physical form.” Follow Jessica’s journey on Instagram @jesstrudeau. yoga.art.

Michelle Sonnenfeldt “My Weaving Journey or Finding My Voice Though Weaving” Sonnenfeldt was introduced to basket weaving through the Point Reyes Field Seminars and, soon after, founding a group called the Bay Area Basket Makers guild. Sonnenfeldt

The 2023 recipients are:

uses a variety of techniques to create upcycled pieces by weaving a variety of natural materials including “found” or reclaimed items such as wire or metal.

“Nature is an inspiration to me. My preferred method is to allow the basket to speak to me and tell me which direction to take. I delight in seeing a basket come to life!” Learn more at bayareabasketmakers. wordpress.com.

Sasha Lyth “Blueprints to the Wilderness” When she’s not teaching a variety of arts to 6-12th grade students at Redwood Coast Montessori School or leading international art and Pilates retreats, Lyth creates oil paintings, mixed media works and ceramics. “My current work combines textiles with experimental techniques in cyanotype printmaking, created on-location in wilderness zones. I like to explore the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual impact of wild places on what it means to be human and draw a correlation between traditional icon painting of the church and how flora and fauna are presented in my experimental works.”

About Victor Thomas Jacoby Victor Jacoby, an internationally recognized Eureka visual artist whose chosen medium was French tapestry, established the Victor Thomas Jacoby Fund with HAF+WRCF before his death in 1997 at age 52. Victor’s vision inspired his friend Dr. Rosalind Novick to make an additional gift to the fund and expand his dream of supporting local artists.

Red Cross: Emergency blood shortage may delay medical procedures The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years.

The Red Cross blood supply has fallen to critically low levels across the country, and blood and platelet donors are urged to make a donation appointment to help alleviate the shortage and help ensure lifesaving medical procedures are not put on hold.

Over the last 20 years, the number of people donating blood to the Red Cross has fallen by about 40%.

When fewer people donate blood, even small disruptions to blood donations – such as the nearly 7,000-unit shortfall in blood donations the Red Cross experienced between Christmas and New Year’s Day alone – can have a

huge impact on the availability of blood products and dramatic consequences for those in need of emergency blood transfusion.

Blood products are currently going to hospitals faster than blood donations are coming in, and in recent weeks, the Red Cross has had to limit distributions of type O blood products – among the most transfused blood types – to hospitals.

“Small changes in blood donor turnout can have a huge impact on the availability of blood products and dramatic consequences for those in need of an emergency blood transfusion,” said Dr. Eric Gehrie, executive physician director for the Red Cross.

“More challenges may lie ahead as the potential for severe winter weather and seasonal illness may compound the dire blood

Construction

supply situation.

“Donors of all types – especially those with type O blood and those giving platelets – are urged to give now.”

Don’t wait – to make an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

The Red Cross and the National Football League (NFL) are partnering this January, during National Blood Donor Month, to urge individuals to give blood or platelets and help tackle the emergency blood shortage.

Those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma in January will automatically be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. For details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Super Bowl.

New online guides will aid in identification of native bees

By Steve Lundeberg Guest Article

Pollinator enthusiasts and scientists have new online tools to identify native bees in the Pacific Northwest.

The publicly available “keys” resemble the field guides familiar to fans of fauna and flora but contain the extraordinary detail needed to identify bees, which are much harder to tell apart than plants, birds, mammals and reptiles, according to Jim Rivers of the Oregon State University College of Forestry.

“With birds for example, one characteristic can tell you whether it’s a California scrub-jay or a Steller’s jay,” said Rivers, who developed the keys.

“Bees are not that way.

Many species appear identical at first but are in fact distinguished by very small, nuanced differences.”

Oregon alone is home to more than 600 species of native bees. Bees and other animal pollinators enhance the reproduction of nearly 90% of the Earth’s flowering plants, including many food crops, and are an essential component of insect and plant biodiversity.

Bees are the standard bearer among pollinators because they’re usually present in the greatest numbers and because

they’re the only pollinator group that feeds exclusively on nectar and pollen their entire life.

Rivers, Lincoln Best of the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences and the OSU Extension Service, Josh Dunlap of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, August Jackson of Mount Pisgah Arboretum in Eugene and Paul Williams of the Natural History Museum in London put together three separate ID keys: bee genera of the Pacific Northwest, and male and female species keys for the region’s bumblebees.

The keys, which took the collaborators about three years to assemble in a project funded by the College of Forestry’s Fish and Wildlife Habitat in Managed Forests program, are aimed at two primary target audiences: Scientists and land managers whose work involves bees, and bee enthusiasts among the general public.

“The small number of people who are really good at identifying bees don’t use keys – they just know the species inside and out because they spend so much time working with bee specimens,” Rivers said. “We’ve made our keys easy enough that the amateur can use them, and our expectation is that the keys will benefit all kinds of research projects in this part of the world.”

Rivers explained that

in the Pacific Northwest, there are perhaps a halfdozen professional bee identification experts whose work is critical for moving forward any research project that depends on knowing for sure which bees are in a particular study area.

“And they’re all backlogged for months,” Rivers said. “It’s a big bottleneck in bee research when you have thousands of specimens you’re trying to ID and you have to wait for months before you can get the identification data you need to complete a project. With the keys, we can at least get one step closer to having the identifications we need in a timely manner.”

The keys are downloadable and printable but most easily used online, he said. The design uses hyperlinks to navigate users through a decision tree that walks them through what to look for in various parts of the bee anatomy in highresolution detail.

“You work through a series of dichotomous questions until you can say yes, what I am looking at in my specimen matches what I see on the key,” Rivers said. “We got the best high-resolution images we could get for the different diagnostic characters so that the images match what you see in a specimen. That’s a big improvement over the

idealized hand drawings that most traditional keys have, which can be challenging to use when

trying to ID a real-world specimen.”

Community scientists, including Oregon Bee

School participants and OSU Extension Master Melittologists, helped review and test the keys.
