Transcription Notes:
@siobhanleachman - I've put together this document of bee species names to help other volunteers. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_Zc6xt1giFN2mfBuByQ7kpkW1_nLCcFaO_bBm8zjEE/edit#gid=426229412 googled some of the bee terms to try to determine what he wrote, re "bombus lucorum," "andrena albicam," etc.
