This dataset contains small scabious mining bee records gathered as part of the Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms Project. The Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms (RIC) project will work to improve the conservation fortunes of some of the Cairngorm National Parkís (CNPA) rarest species by recruiting local volunteers to help survey for them, as well as offering advice to landowners on how best to manage habitats for their needs. RIC is a partnership project involving RSPB Scotland, the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), Buglife Scotland, Butterfly Conservation Scotland and NatureScot.Sampling Description
Method steps
- Volunteers were given training to find and identify the species and its habitat. To find the bee, volunteers would go to suitable species-rich grassland which was particularly rich in devil's bit scabious and use visual surveys to find the bees and look for nests.
