Records are available from 2013-2019. One of these methods, "bee blocks", also captured wasps, hover flies, and other insects so the dataset includes more than just bees. The data are comprised of observation records from Bee Atlas volunteers and specimen records from the University of Minnesota Bee Lab. Please contact Elaine Evans, Extension Educator and Bee Researcher at elainee@umn.edu, with questions.
