Description
Records of insects that emerged from trap nests set to target cavity nesting bees at several sites in Vermont, USA during the summer of 2021.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 4 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Trap designs varied. A commercially available "bee hotel" with bamboo tubes of various sizes was used in East Montpelier, while Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge traps were made from local plant stems and dimensional lumber with small holes drilled in the end.
| Study Extent | Traps were deployed at ~6 locations throughout Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge in the spring of 2021. An additional trap was set in East Montpelier, Vermont, USA in July of 2021. |

| Quality Control | Specimens determined by Spencer Hardy |
Method step description:
- Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge traps were brought into an unheated shop in November and later brought into a heated office where many of the bees emerged and escaped their individual containers, rending the specific trap location unknown. Filled tubes from the East Montpelier trap were brought indoors in April of 2022.
