RPBB_Priority_Grid_Update

10 x10 kilometer grids identifying the survey priority ratings and geographical extent of the rusty patched bumble bee to be used in conjunction with our online survey guidance available at: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Survey_Protocols_RPBB_12April2019.pdf . Attribute table for shapefile can be found at: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=4927a7a146e84cefa8daadcec852b538. We encourage people to do bee surveys. We are particularly interested in surveys near recent records of the rusty patched bumble bee (in or near High and Low Potential Zones), but are also interested in surveys across the entire historical range of the species. Bumble bee surveys can provide baseline data, even if rusty patched bumble bee are not present. Bumble bee community data and negative data (surveys where RPBB was not detected) is all important as we plan for recovery.
