Description
The York University Phenology Project evaluated the utility of managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies as bio-monitors of plant community phenology. Using Amro Zayed's urban apiary as the study site, pollen traps were installed at the base of 5 honey bee colonies, and pollen was collected weekly during a 24 hr. sampling period for 15 weeks. On-site field monitoring of plants in flowering was simultaneously completed using a 1000 m. radius around the study site. Collected pollen samples were split into two libraries, each of which underwent two-locus metabarcoding using ITS2 and rbcL1, yielding 4 total metabarcoding libraries. This metabarcoding library contains ITS2 ASVs for weeks 5 – 15 that were matched to a MetaCurator reference barcode with a >0.99 similarity threshold. Metabarcoding methods were independently validated and are described here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13007-023-01097-9 The study site was urban, featuring many ornamental plantings of non-native species, and mixed-wood lots of native and invasive species.
