The effects of tallgrass prairie management (burning, haying, grazing) on prairie bees was measured. This study shows managing a prairie by burning and haying have the highest species richness (35 species found on both burned and hayed prairie) and hayed prairie shows the highest diversity (Shannon-Weiner diversity index=H’=2.74, equitability=E=0.82) of bees. Many plants depend on bees for pollination. However, not all bee visitations result in pollination, so it is important to have a good diversity of bees on the prairie to aide in dispersal of flowering plants. Bees collected in bowl (2005), Malaise (2004, 2005), and flight intercept traps (2004, 2005) were identified to species, 49 species were collected from 5 families.
