This dataset contains the recordings of bees from the PhD-study by Isabel Calabuig on: "Solitary Bees and Bumblebees in a Danish agricultural landscape 1997-2000". In a survey April through November 1997, a total of 72 solitary bee species and 19 bumblebee species were recorded in the semi-natural habitats of a conventional agricultural landscape. The study contains a total of 1091 sampling events from a total of 64 window traps in yellow pan-traps, yielding a total of 13.700 individual bee specimens.Sampling Description
Study Extent
In the agricultural landscape, three transects were selected, each two kilometres long, along varying types of semi-natural habitats. Small window-traps standing in yellow pan-traps with liquid was used to attract and trap the bees. The traps were placed along the habitats with a constant distance of 100 metres, coming to a total of 64 traps.Sampling
Traps were normally emptied once a week. Trap yields were rinsed and stored in 70% ethanol.Quality Control
The material was sorted and all bee specimens counted and identified to species. Colourimetric properties of the yellow pan-traps were measured, and the traps' efficiency of attracting bees was evaluated. Representatives of all species recorded are kept as dry pinned specimens at Natural History Museum of Denmark, currently in personal collection of Isabel Calabuig at the museum.Method steps
