Description
The Vermont Wild Bee Survey was the first comprehensive effort to understand the bee fauna for the state of Vermont. Specimens were collected from 2019 through 2021 by a variety of project staff and community naturalists. This dataset includes all records that were not part of a specific study during the survey period.
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 1,045 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
This dataset includes both "bee bowl" and active netting surveys. Surveys in 2019 followed protocols from The Very Handy Bee Manual (Droege, 2015). Subsequent bee bowl efforts used the same bowls, but varied the number and duration (recorded in the sampling events).
| Study Extent | In 2019, sampling effort was focused on 12 "priority blocks" that fell at least partially within Chittenden County. These 5 km X 5 km blocks were designated during the Vermont Breeding Bird Survey and since used for several wildlife atlases in Vermont. Repeated sampling was done by volunteers at three stratified sites within each block from May through August of 2019. From 2019 through 2021, additional sampling was done throughout the state, with a focus on locations that may harbor unique bee species. |
