Occurrence dataset of wild bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) present in agricultural and non-farmed landscapes of Central Uganda

The Bee Diversity Informatics Project (beeDIP) was conceived to generate information about Uganda's composition and distribution of bee fauna. The purpose of the surveys was to develop a preliminary baseline dataset of the bee fauna of Uganda post-2011, which was the latest published GBIF record of bees before the 2020 inception of the beeDIP project. Secondly, to assess species richness in a region experiencing multiple stressors (pesticide use, changes in vegetation, intense heat, and drought) known to affect bee communities and increase urbanization. Bees were collected from farmland, grassland, and woodland areas. Surveys were conducted over 24 months between 2020 and 2022 in three districts – Kayunga, Luwero, and Nakaseke – located in Central Uganda.

蜜蜂多样性信息学项目（beeDIP）旨在生成有关乌干达蜜蜂群落组成与分布的信息。该项目调查的目的是建立2011年之后的乌干达蜜蜂群落初步基线数据集，该数据集是2020年beeDIP项目启动前，最新的由全球生物多样性信息设施（GBIF）发布的蜜蜂记录。其次，评估一个受多种压力因素（农药使用、植被变化、强烈的热浪和干旱）影响的区域物种丰富度，这些因素已知会影响蜜蜂群落并加剧城市化进程。蜜蜂样本采集自农田、草地和林地区域。调查在2020年至2022年间进行了24个月，在乌干达中部的三个地区——凯扬加、卢韦罗和纳卡塞克——进行。
