The spectacular decline in pollinators and their prominent role in pollination of natural and cultivated plants has stimulated research on pollinating insects. Over the last ten years, much ecological research has been carried out on bees, often generating a large volume of specimens and increasing the importance of entomological collections. Here, we present the bee collection of the IMBE laboratory (Marseille, France) after ten years of study of plant-pollinator networks.
We provide distribution data on 2181 specimens belonging to 246 species of bees, mainly from the Mediterranean Region of France. One of the recorded species, , is classified as "endangered" at the European level, while 68 of the recorded species are currently Data Deficient according to the 2014 Red List of European bees. This dataset contributes to the broader effort to enhance the knowledge of French bee diversity. It aligns with the objectives of the French Pollinator Plan and supports the development of a national Red List. In this context, information about the distribution of wild bees from the Mediterranean Region, which harbours the highest species diversity in mainland France, are of particular importance.
传粉者数量的急剧下降及其在自然和栽培植物授粉中的重要作用激发了对传粉昆虫的研究。在过去十年中，对蜜蜂进行了大量的生态学研究，常常产生大量标本，增加了昆虫学收藏的重要性。在此，我们展示了经过十年植物-传粉者网络研究后，法国马赛地中海生态与环境科学研究所（IMBE）实验室的蜜蜂收藏。
我们提供了属于246种蜜蜂的2181个标本的分布数据，这些标本主要来自法国地中海地区。其中一个记录物种在欧洲层面被列为“濒危”物种，而根据2014年欧洲蜜蜂红色名录，记录的物种中有68种目前数据缺乏。该数据集有助于更广泛地努力增进对法国蜜蜂多样性的了解。它符合法国传粉者计划的目标，并支持国家红色名录的编制。在此背景下，来自法国本土物种多样性最高的地中海地区野生蜜蜂的分布信息尤为重要。
