蜜蜂在自然和农业景观中发挥着重要作用，对这些授粉者的兴趣增加，导致旨在监测地球仪蜜蜂种群的研究增加。许多调查蜜蜂多样性的研究使用平底锅陷阱（装满肥皂水的彩色塑料碗）作为一种具有成本效益的诱捕方法。在这里，我们调查如何替代泛陷阱设计（陷阱的大小，并增加“花蜜指南”）影响收集的标本数量。我们发现，较大的盘陷阱收集更多的标本比小型和中型陷阱，并增加“花蜜指南”可以显着增加收集的标本数量。增加样本量可以更好地了解蜜蜂多样性的模式，从而做出更明智的管理决策。
Bees play an important role in natural and agricultural landscapes and increased interest in these pollinators has lead to an increase in studies designed to monitor bee populations across the globe. Many studies investigating bee diversity use pan traps (colored plastic bowls filled with soapy water) as a cost-effective trapping method. Here we investigate how alternative pan trap designs (both the size of the traps, and the addition of “nectar guides”) affect the number of specimens collected. We find that larger pan traps collect more specimens than small and medium sized traps, and that the addition of “nectar guides” can significantly increase the number of specimens collected. Increased sample sizes can lead to a better understanding of patterns of bee diversity, which can lead to more informed management decisions.
