Minnesota Bee Atlas (UMN EXT)

Operating from 2015-2020, the Minnesota Bee Atlas engaged citizen science volunteers in three protocol areas to study the diversity and distribution of native bees. This data includes observation and specimen records from Bee Atlas volunteers as well as specimen records from the University of Minnesota Bee Lab. Please contact Elaine Evans, Extension Educator and Bee Researcher at evan0155@umn.edu, with questions. Funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR)
