April Hamblin thesis collection (NCSU-NCSU_Hamblin)
April Hamblin (now April Cherveny) and colleagues sampled bee communities at 15 residential yards and 3 urban natural areas around Raleigh, NC six times each in 2014 and five times each in 2015. Sampling occurred between May and August each year. Each site was sampled using multiple methods: pan traps, vane traps, and hand netting. Specimens uploaded here are from hand netting. Hand netting consisted of 20 minutes of active netting per site visit. As sites included residential yards, specific localities (i.e., addresses) have been removed to protect homeowner identities and decimal coordinates have been rounded from 4 decimal places to 3 decimal places. 1,737 specimens.
