1 The Bees of Canada Cory S. Sheffield, PhD York University
2 Bees are Vegetarian Wasps
3 Bees as Pollinators 100 million year relationship with plants These relationships have shaped terrestrial ecosystems as we now know them
4
5 Sable Island Located about 300 km off the coast of Nova Scotia, at 44 N 60 W Approximately 50 km long and 3 km wide The Graveyard of the Atlantic
6 Sable Island Largely a sand bar, so its shape and size have shifted dramatically throughout its recorded history
7 Famous Sable Island Inhabitants
8 Famous Sable Island Inhabitants
9 Famous Sable Island Inhabitants
10 Sable Island Birds Over 340 species of birds have been observed on Sable Island, and records continue to be kept by residents and visitors to the island Of the 12 species of birds that regularly breed on Sable Island, the most famous is the Ipswich Sparrow, which is an endemic sub-species of the Savannah Sparrow
11 Ipswich Sparrow
12 Sable Island Insects A total of 489 species of insects have been recorded on the island The pattern of their distribution in North America has given rise to theories that Sable Island may have acted as a coastal-plain refugium during the Pleistocene glaciation
13 Sable Island Plants Of the more than 175 plant species presently on the island, about 40 are introductions Few of these have thrived, and they mostly occur in areas where buildings and structures provide some protection from wind and blowing sand
14
15 Sable Island Plants Most of the island's native flora is typical of mainland Nova Scotia and northeastern North America About twenty native plants, however, have a very restricted distribution beyond Sable Island, and some are listed as "rare" in Nova Scotia
16 Sable Island Plants Many of the islands plant species require insects for pollination Several require bee visitors for buzz pollination
17 Sable Island Cranberries The island gave us lots of berries - cranberries, strawberries, blueberries. Every October we all turned out for the cranberry picking, even the lifesaving crew. One year we picked 400 barrels of No. 1 cranberries and I made 48 quarts of jelly. I wished I had never seen a cranberry...the Government sold them for $5 a barrel. The money helped pay to run the lifesaving station Trixie Boutillier Resident of Sable Island from 1885 to 1912
18 Sable Island Cranberries What cost $5 in 1890 would cost ca $114* in 2007 ($45,600/year) *The Inflation Calculator
19 Bees of Sable Island Megachile melanophaea Osmia simillima Lasioglossum novascotiae *Lasioglossum new sp.

21 Our Ecological Footprint A measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems Compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate
22
23 Human Carrying Capacity The maximum population that can be supported at a given living standard by the interaction of any given human-ecological system A terrible conceptual flaw is thinking that environmental and human resources are largely irrelevant to human population size
24 Human Population Density
25 Human Population Growth
26 Human Population
27
28 Many of our crops require cross pollination by bees
29 Pollination
30 Need for Pollinators Bees are the most important group of animal pollinators Apis mellifera is the most widely used and important pollinator of our crops
31 Value of Honey Bees Through their pollination of crop plants, honey bees are the third most valuable domestic animal in Europe Jürgen Tautz 2008 The Buzz About Bees
32 Worth More than Chickens?
33
34
35
36 Honey Bees and CCD If (honey) bee deaths should reach 80 to 90 percent worldwide...the Earth s carrying capacity for humans could be reduced, essentially overnight, from a maximum of twelve billion to about six billion Charles Pellegrino 2007 (As quoted in Schutt 2008 Dark Banquet )
37 Dependant on Honey Bees We have been placing all our eggs in one basket thousand species of bees in Canada
38 In addition to honey bees... BIOL 2P05 - Lecture 13 38
39 ...we should look at our native bees
40 Bees of Canada Melittidae Megachilidae Apidae Andrenidae Halictidae Colletidae
41 Melittidae Macropis Melitta (?)
42 Melittidae Our species are oilbees (genus Macropis) Dependant on floral oils from plants of the genus Lysimachia
43
44
45 Megachilidae Anthidiellum Anthidium Ashmeadiella Atoposmia Chelostoma Coelioxys Dianthidium Heriades Hoplitis Megachile Osmia Protosmia Stelis
46 Megachilidae One of the most important groups of bees from a crop pollination perspective Many are manageable
47 Apidae Anthophora Apis Bombus Ceratina Diadasia Doeringiella Epeoloides Epeolus Eucera Habropoda Holcopasites Melecta Melissodes Neolarra Nomada Peponapis Svastra Xeromelecta Xylocopa Zacosmia
48 Apidae Includes bumble bees Several species have recently been catching attention due to their increasing rarity
49 Andrenidae Andrena Calliopsis Panurginus Perdita *Protandrena
50 Andrenidae Very important pollinators of many spring crops including apple and blueberry Many are floral specialist
51
52 Halictidae Illustrations from Goulet, H., and J.T. Huber (Eds.) Hymenoptera of the World: An identification guide to families. Agapostemon Augochlora Augochlorella Augochloropsis Dieunomia Dufourea Halictus Lasioglossum Nomia Sphecodes
53 Halictidae Many species Very difficult taxonomically All levels of sociality
54 Colletidae Colletes Hylaeus
55 Colletidae Cellophane bees Line nests with cellophane-like secretion to store wet pollen provisions
56 Bees in Canada N of 60 there are over 100 bee species Mostly Bombus in high arctic

61 Bee Faunal Similarity
62 Barcoding Bees of North America Presently about 30-35% of the North American bee fauna is barcoded (ca 70% of Canada s fauna) Many problematic bee taxa will be resolved with DNA barcoding
63
64 Barcoding Bees Taxonomic studies Great potential for ecological studies: pollination diversity conservation
65 Impact of Introduced Species Several introduced into North America What impact of native fauna?
66 Ground-nesting bees Most species of bees Usually in bare patches in well drained soils
67 Ground-nesting bees Depth and complexity varies Soil preferences Up to several 100 tunnels per m 2 From Batra 1984
68 Ground-nesting bees
69 Ground-nesting bees Nest built vertically in banks Nest Plug From Batra 1984
70 Cavity-nesting bees
71
72 Megachile leafcutter bees
73 Natural Cavities
74 Nest entrance
75 Cavity Nesters - Osmia From Michener 2000
76 Cavity Nesters - Osmia From Michener 2000
77 Cavity Nesters - Excavator Ceratina calcarata
78 Cavity Nesting Bees Nesting sites are the limiting factor for species richness and abundance Trap nests encourage bees in orchard systems Sheffield et al Can. Ent. 140:
