CNV 2024 BC Bee Atlas Report

Over the summer of 2024 the Native Bee Society of BC, in collaboration with the OSU

Master Melittologists, surveyed for bees in the City of North Vancouver. Over 10 survey days

175 specimens from five families, 14 genera and 43 species were collected from 36 different

plant species. One species at risk, Bombus flavidus, was observed, as well as nine non-

native species. Previous to these surveys, only 13 species were in the publicly available

record. A species checklist is provided, as well as details on plant use by different bee

families.
