There are 12 Lasioglossum, 16 Sphecodes, and 1 Stelis morphospecies that could not be named to species level. Thus, altogether, we documented 97 bee species and morphospecies from Portland-area gardens.
Specimens were collected by Gail Langellotto, Isabella Messer, Lucas Costner, Angelee Calder. Lincoln Best made final determinations on all bees. Other bee identifications were made by Jason Gibbs' lab (Lasioglossum / Dialictus), Gabriel Foote (2019 bee IDs), and Sarah Kornbluth (2017 bee IDs).
Funding for this project was provided by donations to the OSU Garden Ecology Lab from Y. Sherry Sheng & Spike Wadsworth and Sara Running, as well as grants from the Oregon Master Gardener Association (Extension Educator Grant), Clackamas County Master Gardener Association (Gray & Norrene Thompson Community Grant), and the OSU Extension Association (Hoeker Family Innovation Grant).
