Bees and Wasps of Texas

Bees and Wasps of Texas is an effort of the Texas Native Bee Co-op and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The purpose of this project is to enhance our understanding of the distribution of bees and wasps in Texas. Our highest priority is to collect information on Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). However, we hope this project will lead to a better understanding of the distribution of all bee and wasp species in Texas and we encourage others to use this data for research and conservation purposes.

To increase the value of your observations, please indicate the spatial accuracy and include additional comments. Ideally we would like data on how many individuals were observed, evidence of reproduction, condition and extent of habitat, and any potential threats in the area.

Observations of rare species will be added to the Texas Natural Diversity Database (TXNDD); which is maintained by Texas Parks & Wildlife and used to assist environmental review and conservation planning efforts. To learn more about the TXNDD and see what species we track, please visit:
