Urban green spaces have a recognized importance for wildlife conservation and city sustainability, but their biodiversity needs further confirmation and comparison. Bee and wasp abundance and species richness and surrounding green space were assessed at a garden and meadow at the University at Albany, SUNY and at the Doane Stuart School green roof, both located in Upstate NY (which contains extensive rural land), and the High Line park in NYC ( N = 1,204). Pollinator diversity for Upstate sites was moderately high and similar to comparable Northeast studies, totaling 64 bee and 35 wasp taxa (30% and 5% of state bee genera and species). Six species were collected on green roofs for the first time, and nearly 50% of collected bees are recorded at a local preserve. A general pattern of species evenness was found for all sites, excepting rare taxa and domination by honeybees (n = 189; 29.1%) and eastern bumblebees (n = 230, 35.4%) at SUNY and an exotic carder bee (n = 77; 35.5%) on the green roof. Means for individuals and wasps were 40 and 12 (SUNY) and 37 and 6 (green roof). Small-bodied species and social vespids were the most common wasps, and green roof wasp diversity was lower but similar to the meadow. Jaccard similarity for all taxa was greatest for the meadow and green roof, and the garden had low diversity. Green space in 2-km radii was highest for the green roof followed by SUNY, and the meadow had the highest pollinator diversity and is the most natural environment. Percent surrounding forest cover and exotic species were negatively correlated (R2 = 0.22, p = 0.03), and introduced species are known to thrive in urban areas. Overall, findings suggest that a variety of urban green spaces with sufficient natural features can function as novel ecosystems and contribute to bee and wasp conservation, and characterizing their diversity may aid in setting expectations for ecological restoration in urban areas.
