Below is a list of bee and plant species in the University of Rochester woodlands. The UR woodlands are 1-2 km from Biology department at the University of Rochester, Monroe Co., Rochester New York. Most of the data on bee-flowering plant interactions is from collections made every 10-14 days beginning in the summer of 2010.

This is one of many student-led projects in the woodlands, see
http://web.mac.com/justin_ramsey/Ramsey_lab/Overview_%28URW%29.html for more information.

The table will be updated periodically as more collections are made and new species are identified.
