<div dir="ltr"><div>All:</div><div><br></div><div>It has been at least 2 years since I reported out the new Maryland bee records and set out a new spreadsheet of those records.</div><div><br></div><div>Below is a summary of the new record for the state/counties/cities. Attached is a spreadsheet of those records with two tabs. One tab lists some of the details for each of the records and the other has "x"s for records by county for each species. A few "?" records are included when I have some questions regarding the taxonomy or perhaps because I have not seen the actual specimen. There are a number of records from Allegany county that have a yellow background that I pulled form Edd Barrow's publication on bees in the shale barrens area of that county that I have yet to look at but include because I feel they are likely correctly identified. Records in red text are new records since the last time I put out a summary.</div><div><br></div><div>Much appreciation goes out to all the help from the many collectors/volunteers in the state (see list at the bottom) and all the technical help from North American taxonomists and their collections.<br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><b>Summary</b></div><div><br></div><div>In
