"We estimate there are 450 bee species in New York state, comprising 45 of the 425 genera of bees worldwide (Michener 2007). Our most common (and speciose) genera are Andrena, Lasioglossum, Nomada, Sphecodes, Megachile, Colletes, Osmia, Hylaeus, Melissodes, Bombus and Coelioxys.
The downloadable species list categorizes bees by species, subgenus, family, and subfamily. Additional information such as life history notes, conservation status, and references make this an invaluable tool."
