Description
Records of wild bees sampled using pan traps placed in seminatural grasslands in SE Norway with different sampling locations in 2019 and 2020. In 2019 three traps were placed in each seminatural grassland. In 2020 two trap were placed per seminatural grassland. Each trap consisted of a triplet of white plastic soup bowls painted with flourescent yellow, blue, or left white. Sampling was conducted three times during the flowering season with samples in late may, june and july. In 2019 all collected wild bees were identified to species. In 2020 only non-Bombus were identified as the focus of the project was on solitary and facultatively social bees.
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 2,864 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
A detailed sampling protocol is provided in Sydenham et al 2022a https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104267 and Sydenham et al 2022b https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2022.104354
| Study Extent | We surveyed wild bee communities in 32 seminatural grasslands in SE Norway (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169204621002309#f0005), selected to represent gradients of latitude, elevation, landscape composition, and proximity to sandy sediments and to mature forests. Five grasslands were located in urban, three in agricultural, and 24 in predominantly forested landscapes, according to the 2012 Corine Land Cover classification scheme from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The seminatural grasslands in our survey consisted of localities registered as traditionally managed hay meadows in the Norwegian environment agency’s database (www.naturbase.no), typically due to their flora and the presence of certain indicator plants such as Arnica montana (Öster et al., 2008). Seminatural grasslands can host diverse bee communities but also display a considerable bee species turnover related to local and landscape characteristics (Murray et al., 2012) and thus constitute a suitable model system for making spatial predictions of bee diversity. |

Method step description:
- We used the pan-traps to sample bees four times from May to August at each location. During each sampling event, traps were installed and left active (filled with water and a drop of detergent) for 48 h. Sampling was only conducted when weather conditions allowed sampling bees from all 32 seminatural grasslands within a period of four days (See Appendix S1 for details). From each trap location, we tallied the species richness of solitary bees and bumble bees (Wild Bee SR), the species richness of just solitary bees (Solitary Bee SR), and calculated the Shannon diversity of wild bees (Wild Bee H) and of solitary bees (Solitary Bee H).
