The Alaska Bee Dataset contains data originating from the following sources: Historical Data: Data from literature are static and have been queried once. Data are collected by yearly queries from the UAA Entomology Collection (UAA: Ento), University of Alaska Museum of the North Insect Collection (UAM), GBIF, iDigBio, and USGS BISON. Data from global biodiversity datasets require a query using the location terms "Alaska" and scientific family terms "Andrenidae, Apidae, Colletidae, Halictidae, OR Megachilidae". Data license agreements and digital object identifier (DOI) links are saved/recorded with associated data. All data must be downloaded from sources then edited to fit the format of the Alaska Bee Dataset. For each dataset, include an instruction guide to format and transfer mandatory fields to relatable the Alaska Bee Dataset. Data hierarchy is structured by source and archive Folder. Each source folder contains recent data download, agreement terms, literature if applicable, and associated archive folder. Archive folders contain previous versions of data. All data sources contain the month and date of download in file name, e.g. UAM_Mar2021. Original data are stored in the excel spreadsheet with "'data name'_original". Manipulated and curated data occur in a copied spreadsheet of the original data with "data name_edited".Bee Atlas Data: data are submitted with samples in the summer/fall to ACCS. File structure will contain the main spreadsheet and archive folder. The excel file will have the month and year of last update, e.g. "_Mar2021". At the end of the month, or as needed, a new copy of the database is created with the new date format and the old file is placed in the archive folder. Data from both sources are combined with related tables to form the Alaska Bee Dataset, managed by ACCS.
