Abstract

In 2009 the USDA-NRCS asked the Urban Bee Lab at the University of California, Berkeley if urban bee-flower knowledge could be used to attract native bees to farms in Brentwood, Contra Costa Co. in Northern California. The overarching question was, could native bees play a role in supplementing honey bees by providing pollination services for crop flowers? If so, how many native bee species were visiting farms and how frequently did they occur?Eight small farms (4-60 ha) were selected to investigate this question; four were control and four were treatment farms where bee habitat gardens were constructed. Habitat gardens were stocked with native and non-native ornamental plants known to attract native bees (and honey bees).Bees were monitored yearly in spring at each farm from 2010-2016 to evaluate species richness and abundance, which yielded several findings:I. Farms near urban areas and a creek were consistently more attractive to diverse and abundant bee speciesII. Inconsistent bee garden maintenance and major changes in farm operations in other farms resulted in consistently lower measurements of bee richness and abundanceIII. Over the seven-year monitoring period, 144 bee species were recorded among all farmsIV. Nearby urban areas had most of the same species as the agricultural areas, suggesting a relationship of bees moving between two areasV. A total of 23 diverse native bee species were recorded from apple, berry, and cherry flowers, and many of them in substantial numbers, indicating that native bees were providing pollination servicesFinally, maintaining frequent professional contact with growers was considered crucial in conducting research over the long term. These contacts were also critical in designing outreach packages to growers who expressed interest in applying our native bee findings to their farming operations.
2010-2018年北加州农业Brentwood及其人工蜂园原生蜜蜂和蜜蜂的调查
2009年,USDA-NRCS询问加州大学伯克利分校的城市蜜蜂实验室,是否可以利用城市蜂花知识来吸引本地蜜蜂到北加州康特拉科斯塔公司布伦特伍德的农场。最重要的问题是,本地蜜蜂能否通过为作物花朵提供授粉服务,在补充蜜蜂方面发挥作用?如果是的话,有多少本地蜜蜂物种造访农场,它们的出现频率有多高?选择了8个小型农场(4-60公顷)来调查这个问题;四个是对照,四个是处理场,在那里建造了蜜蜂栖息地花园。栖息地花园里种满了已知能吸引本地蜜蜂(和蜜蜂)的本地和非本地观赏植物。2010-2016年,每个农场每年春季都会对蜜蜂进行监测,以评估物种的丰富度和丰度,这产生了几个发现:I。城市地区附近的农场和一条小溪一直对多样化和丰富的蜜蜂物种更具吸引力。不一致的养蜂场维护和其他农场农场运营的重大变化导致蜜蜂丰富度和丰度的测量值一直较低III。在七年的监测期间,所有农场中记录了144种蜜蜂。附近的城市地区与农业地区有大多数相同的物种,这表明蜜蜂在两个地区之间移动的关系。从苹果、浆果和樱花中共记录到23种不同的本土蜜蜂,其中许多数量可观,这表明本土蜜蜂正在提供授粉服务。最后,与种植者保持频繁的专业联系被认为是进行长期研究的关键。这些联系对于为那些表示有兴趣将我们的本土蜜蜂研究成果应用于农业运营的种植者设计外展包也至关重要。
