Below is a provisional list of the bee species known from VT. The list is consistently in flux and may not represent the most up to date knowledge, as new species are added and ambiguous ones are revisited frequently.

Many of the species accounts have not yet been created, so the links will not work yet. In the meantime, you can explore by genera here.
