The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation 20230214 vector digital data https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS https://www.bumblebeewatch.org/ California Bumble Bee Atlas (CABBA), a community science partnership with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to inventory the bumble bees of California. CABBA field survey data are uploaded to Bumble Bee Watch (BBW), Xerces' data management platform for bumble bees. Data are managed in a database on the backend of the Bumble Bee Watch website. They are disseminated as appropriate to other locations, including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and the Bumble Bees of North America Database.Participants take macro photos of anaesthetized bees. They collect site and survey data. Photos and other data are uploaded to Bumble Bee Watch, where project leads identify bumble bees. A community science inventory of the native bumble bees of California occurring statewide, 2022-2023.

Esri Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. Esri Coordinates defining the features. Bee_ID Unique identifier for each row of the table, representing a single bee observation (or, if 'Count' >1, a series of bees of the same species). Checklist_ID Unique identifier for each checklist or survey event. Nearly all survey events were point surveys; a few were roadside surveys. Surveys with no bee observations are represented in this table by a single row of data where 'Bees_observed' = "Zero bee survey". Bees_observed Indicates if bees were observed; "Bees observed" = positive observation, "Zero bee survey' = negative observation. Project Bumble Bee Watch = incidental surveys; California Bumble Bee Atlas = point surveys. See also 'Survey_type'. Family Observed bee family taxon. Genus Observed bee genus taxon. Species Observed bee species taxon. "vos_cal" = bee determination is vosnesenskii or caliginosus, but we couldn't distinguish the two. Common_name Observed bee common name. Latitude Latitude coordinate. Longitude Longitude coordinate. Country Country observation/survey took place. State_prov State observation/survey took place. County County observation/survey took place. Location Location observation/survey took place. Date_submitted Date the observation was submitted. Coord_accuracy_m Coordinate accuracy in meters. Sex Observed bee sex. Caste Observed bee cast. Count This is the number of bees represented by this row of data; in most cases, it is 1. Normally volunteers enter a #>1 when they are more advanced with ID or want to use the "searched for new species" method during a point survey. Individual bees inside of this count number were NOT all viewed by project staff, just the representative single bee. Observer_notes Observation notes. Date Date of observation. Start_time Survey start time. Survey_End_Time Survey end time. Minutes_elapsed Survey length in minutes. Survey_Minutes Total survey length in minutes. Survey_type Survey types; "Incidental" = incidental observation, "Point" = observation made during survey, "Roadside" = observation made while in transit during survey. Observer Observer name(s). Status Indicates whether the observation has been verified. det_date Date observation was verified. det_by Name of person who verified species. det_notes Notes from verification. Volunteer_det Volunteer specified identification. Source Indicates source of observation; "App' = Bumble Bee Watch app ,"Website" = Bumble Bee Watch website, "NA" = unspecified. Link URL to Bumble Bee Watch observation voucher. Area_ha Approximate area surveyed in hectares. Collection_method Method of bee collection. Ecoregion Survey ecoregion. This fields pertain to the survey ('checklist') in which this bee was observed, not to this bee alone. Elev_m Survey elevation in meters. dayno Survey day number. Survey_species_richness Survey species richness. This fields pertain to the survey ('checklist') in which this bee was observed, not to this bee alone. No_observers Number of observers. Temperature_verbatim Verbatim temperature during survey. Temperature_Units Survey temperature units. Temp_ Temperature at time of survey. Wind_Speed Wind speed during survey, in miles per hour. Cloud_Cover Percent cloud cover during survey. Weather_Notes Notes taken during survey on weather. Habitat_Type Habitat type of survey area. Surrounding_Habitat_Type_1 Specifies surrounding habitat type if different from survey area. Surrounding_Habitat_Type_2 Specifies surrounding habitat type if different from survey area. Surrounding_Habitat_Type_3 Specifies surrounding habitat type if different from survey area. Floral_Resources_Percent Percentage of floral resources present at survey site. Nesting_Resources Available nesting resources at survey site. Mowing Specifies if the survey area is maintained (mowed). Livestock_Grazing Specifies if the survey area is grazed by livestock. Native_Grazing Specifies if the survey area is grazed by native wildlife. Agriculture Specifies if the survey is agricultural. Insecticide_Use Specifies if the survey area makes use of insecticides. Herbicide_Use Specifies if the survey area makes use of herbicides. Fire Specifies if the survey site has been altered by fire. Honey_Bees Specifies if the survey site has honey bees. Management_Notes Management notes for the survey area. Flower_Species_Count Count of flower species at survey site. Plant_host_original Specifies the common/scientific name of the original host plant. Plant_host_notes Notes on the host plant. Non_native Specifies if the host plant is non-native. Plant_family Specifies host plant family taxon. Plant_genus Specifies host plant genus taxon. Plant_species Specifies host plant species taxon. Plant_gen_sp Specifies hot plant scientific name.
