Midwestern Bee Species Distribution Across Agricultural Land Uses

Midwest agroecosystems bee species data was compiled from peer-reviewed literature. The dataset lists species names and their total or average numbers across different land use designations. Katherine Kral-O'Brien authored this review, last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between land use designation and bee species presence or abundance.
• Compare total or average number of bee species across different study sites.
• Identify common bee species associated with specific Midwest agroecosystem land uses.
• Validate ecological models using real species names and counts extracted from literature.

Strengths

• Data extracted from peer-reviewed publications ensures scientific credibility.
• Includes multiple data points per study and land use combination for cross-analysis.

Limitations

• Dataset is small at 135.4 KB, indicating limited scope and likely low record count.
• Data is a literature review, not direct field observations, potentially introducing secondary source bias.
