Robust and updated regional #species #checklists are important because they:

guide the identification of sampled #insects by researchers working with complex #communities.

provide baseline #biodiversity information in a #changing world.

This new checklist of the #bees of #Manitoba comes from examining >67000 specimens and resulted in a count of 392 species for the province, 154 of which are new records. 13 of those are new records for all of #Canada.
