ABSTRACT=Abstract
•	We investigated the influence of landscape cover on urban bee community functional groups
•	We observed a diversity of functional groups across primarily forested and primarily urban sites, however particular species were favored by forest/urban spaces
•	 Results point to the importance of further investigating the nuance of land use impacts on pollinator communities, and in particular demonstrates the merit of investigating landscape heterogeneity
•	Conservation of forest remnants in urban environments can positively impact wild bees across multiple functional groups
