Abstract
Bees are responsible for pollinating over 80% of all flowering plants and maintaining 85% of crop yields. So being able to monitor bee species changes over time is crucial in preserving their health and the planet’s health. For this project, I am processing a donation of bee specimens collected for the Vermont Wild Bee Survey to be added to the invertebrate collection. This includes thousands of specimens from 65 different species. Each new addition must be labeled, accessioned, and integrated before being included in the collection. Processing these bees will make the information they hold more accessible for future research.
