This dataset contains occurrences of bees and hoverflies collected within pan traps as part of the 1 km square survey of the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS). It covers the years 2017 to 2023. The following acknowledgement is required for use of this dataset: "The UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS) is a partnership funded jointly by UKCEH and JNCC (through funding from Defra, Scottish Government, Welsh Government, and DAERA). UKCEH’s contribution is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability. Between 2017 and 2023, PoMS was funded by UKCEH and Defra (England), Welsh Government, Scottish Government, DAERA (Northern Ireland), and JNCC. "PoMS is indebted to the many volunteers who carry out surveys and contribute data to the scheme."\nDetailed metadata outlining the full methodology for the PoMS surveys, along with the environmental data that is collected alongside the species data, is published via the UKCEH Environmental Information Data Centre - available from the links at https://ukpoms.org.uk/data.
