Description

This was a pilot study of native bee communities in sugar maple stands that are used to harvest sap for syrup production in northern Vermont, USA. Sampling was part of a larger project: Evaluating the Efficacy of Audubon Vermont’s Bird-Friendly Maple: Can Managing Sugarbushes for Birds Provide Additional Benefits to Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, and Forest Resilience? Work for this data set was partially funded by the Northeastern States Research Cooperative (NSRC).

Sampling Methods

Three locations at each sugar maple stand were surveyed using 15 bee bowls each (5 white, 5 blue, 5 yellow). Bee bowls were set on the forest floor 3-5 meters apart along a transect through mixed hardwood forest. Bowls were left for the equivalent of a full day, either from early morning to early evening, or for 24 hours. All bees caught were pinned, labeled, and identified as part of the Vermont Wild Bee Survey at the Vermont Atlas of Life.

Study Extent Seven working sugar maple stands in northern Vermont. Six sites were surveyed once, one site was surveyed twice.
Quality Control Identifications were completed by Spencer Hardy and Michael Veit.
