Species occurrence records for native and non-native bees and other insects collected using mainly pan, malaise, and vane trapping; and insect netting methods in Armenia, Bahamas, Belgium, Bhutan, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ghana, and Israel. Some records also contain notes regarding plants or substrates from which insects were collected or that were present and/or in flower at the time the insects were collected. Unless otherwise noted, taxonomic determinations (identifications) were completed by Sam Droege (USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center - PWRC).
