This $149,732 National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences (47.074) federal grant program will support the IDIGBEES Network project to digitize bee specimen records across U.S. collections. Colorado State University will mobilize at least 350,000 bee specimen records and 6,600 high-resolution images for open access databases. This digitization aims to map bee species distributions, identify data gaps, document climate impacts on bees, and establish networks for research and conservation. The award will also fund the SMARTBEES education program to create open education resources on bee biodiversity for high school and undergraduate students. Completing by November 2026, this project addresses the growing concerns about bee declines by obtaining specimen-level data on U.S. bee species and communities. This digitization represents an in-depth insect biodiversity initiative that will provide foundational data to assess bee responses to global changes through research, policy, and education.
