Taxonomy is a popular and important issue for us here at the Bee Report. We’ve previously talked about it on the podcast with both Zack Portman and Hollis Woodard. We've talked about the taxonomic bottleneck which, if not overcome, could hamper effective conservation plans and future science. We’ve talked about the potential solutions as well: sufficiently support and fund the taxonomists currently at work, get more qualified people engaged with identification, and develop new tools to facilitate the process of identification. And there are plenty of opinions about where we should be focused in solving the problem.
