Resource Abstract:
- description: This report describes the results of a bee survey coordinated by Leo Shapiro under contract with USFWS, working
in close collaboration with Sam Droege of Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (USGS). We had two main goals for this pilot survey
of native bees on selected USFWS Region 5 units:(1) Obtain initial assessments of bee species richness and diversity on fields
across Region 5 refuge properties.(2) Establish and test protocols for large-scale bee sampling using geographically distributed
volunteers. The appropriateness and practicality of both our statistical sampling design and our methods for handling the
mechanics of processing, identifying, and databasing a large flow of samples must be demonstrated before we scale up further.
One question of particular interest was whether four fields elected and sampled on a refuge by volunteers could reasonably
be treated as statistical replicate samples from that refuge.; abstract: This report describes the results of a bee survey
