Bee species that may occur in Minnesota

Here we present 26 species that may occur or are expected to occur in Minnesota. This list primarily includes species recorded from neighboring states or regions. Some species that have been previously reported by other workers are moved to the possible list rather than the main list of species because we have been unable to fully confirm them. This should not be considered an exhaustive list.
