The Data Set consists of downloadable documents, spreadsheets,
photographs, computer programs and slide shows that record the growth of
farmed communities of cavity-using solitary bees and wasps, and their
parasites, at three locations in Southern Ontario.
Photos help one to link species or species group names to the nests and
immatures seen in the field.
The annual 'SOURCE' spread sheets for generations 2001-7/8 code the
spatial positions of the nest cavities for a total of almost 25000
nests, each nest with counts at upto 6 survival stages, with likely
causes of loss.

Entrance is via the List of Contents at the foot of the home page.
It is hoped to publish a supplement which will include fresh mining of
the 'SOURCE' files, pilot calculations as examples of what can be done
by users, and field data for 2010 onwards.
If there are special requests for particular breakouts of data I will
try to respond.
