Topic: Ivy Bee

Hi Chris

I'm not sure how much priority you give to common names or when they become accepted but I did just happen to look for Ivy Bee on iRecord and thence the species inventory and find it absent as the common name for Colletes hederae.

Thanks Jim - that sounds such a reasonable request that I have just added it :)
