Scott Mitchell is a Masters of Science student in the Oregon State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. His research focuses on pollinator health in the rangelands and riparian areas of eastern Oregon. His work focuses on examining the interactions between early emerging bees and shrubs, and how cattle grazing in riparian and grassland ecosystems impacts native bee communities. To examine these interactions he uses several methods of collecting bees in two field locations in northeastern Oregon.
