Updated list of bees from VC103 including records from NBN Atlas and the BWARS maps (download only).
This updated list includes 5 BWARS additions to my previous list: Sandpit Mining Bee, Small Feckled Mining Bee, Bilberry Bumblebee, Smooth-faced Furrow Bee and Gooden’s Nomad Bee. I don’t know why they aren’t in NBN Atlas, perhaps they are historic records.
Gwynne’s Mining Bee doesn’t have any map on BWARS (obviously an error). BWARS doesn’t accept the record of a Brown-banded Carder Bee which I understand is from a 1947 specimen. The latter isn’t accepted on the Falk book on bees either so presumably they think that specimen has been mislabelled.
