Here, we present a checklist of bee species collected in conjunction with a larger systematic study in the Bear River Mountains of northern Utah, United States, over the course of three consecutive summers (2020-2022). The survey was conducted on public lands managed by the United States Forest Service. We collected 8,500 bee specimens using pan traps, hand nets and trap nests, representing at least 199 bee species belonging to 33 genera across five families. The checklist produced in this survey is critical for land managers and other stakeholders in developing pollinator management and conservation strategies, especially on public lands.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    We present the first published checklist of bees in the Bear River Mountains of northern Utah and document five new species that have not been recorded in Utah before:\n                    <jats:italic>Ceratina sequoiae<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Coelioxys alternata<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Hoplitis pilosifrons<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Megachile campanulae<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Stelis holocyanea<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
