A dataset of occurrence of wild bees and their interaction with foraging plants along a livestock grazing gradient of northern Tanzania.

ABSTRACT: A dataset describing the occurrence of wild bees and their interaction with forage plants along livestock grazing gradient is critical in understanding bee-plant interaction networks and in developing conservation plans to ensure ecosystem services in human-modified landscapes. Despite this need, bee-plant datasets are scarce in Africa, and Tanzania is no exception. Therefore, in this article, we present a dataset of wild bee species richness, occurrence, and distribution collected across sites with different levels of livestock grazing intensity and forage resources thereby. The data presented in this paper supports a research article by Lasway et al., 2022 describing the effects of grazing intensity on East African bee assemblages. The paper presents primary data on bee species, collecti
