The pathogenicity of A. flavus on alkali bee larvae was studied
using sample materials from three nesting sites of these soil
inhabiting bees along the Oregon-Washington state line. Soil
saprophytes of the biosphere of the alkali bee were also studied.
Field observations and direction of soil cores from bee beds...
