METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
Protocols for collection are described in Mach BM, Potter DA (2018) Quantifying bee assemblages and attractiveness of flowering woody landscape plants for urban pollinator conservation. PLOS ONE 13(12): e0208428. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0208428

2. Methods for processing the data: 
Data are direct counts of samples collected for the above publication.  Diversity values are calculated as the inverse of Simpson's D, as described in the above PLOS ONE publication.

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: Not applicable

4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: Not applicable

5. Environmental/experimental conditions: Full collection protocols are described in the PLOS ONE publication cited above.
