Finger Lakes Bee Survey update: June 2018

Here's what our informal survey of bees in the Finger Lakes looks like as of June 30.

Top 10 List of Bees, identified by genus or better:

Bombus impatiens 82
Apis mellifera 72
Xylocopa virginica 18
Ceratina 9
Augochlora pura 8
Nomada 7
Bombus griseocollis 6
Colletes inqequalis 5
Bombus bimaculatus 4
Bombus fervidus 3
Osmia 3
Bombus ternarius 3

The complete list includes 35 bees identified to the level of genus or better, drawn from 242 observations to date. Bumble bees (Bombus) made up 42 percent of the observations, and honey bees (Apis mellifera) made up 30 percent. Surprisingly, Ceratina (small carpenter bees) and Lasioglossum (small sweat bees) combined comprised only 5 percent of the observations to date; these two types of bees seem to be on every sort of flower everywhere I look this summer (daisies, chicory, clover and so on), not to mention landing on the occasional person. Have I just been in the right place at the right time? Or are these bees getting missed in observations because of how small there are?

The majority of observations to date have come from Monroe and Tompkins counties. There have been almost no observations from Ontario county.
