  • Data were collected as part of a study of population dynamics of solitary, cavity-nesting Hymenoptera. Nesting structures ("trap-nests") were established at five study sites along an elevational gradient around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in 2013. Two additional study sites were added in 2014, and one of the original study sites was dropped at the end of 2015. At each site, a HOBO data-logger placed under a centrally located trap-nest records air temperatures hourly. Floral densities are recorded at each site, typically 1-2 times per week, throughout the growing season, for specific plant taxa known to be used as pollen sources by cavity-nesting bees. In addition, pollen samples are taken from the nests of cavity-nesting bees and the constituent plant taxa identified by microscopic comparison with a reference pollen collection from the study area.
