Abstract Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge their distribution at national continental levels is needed to implement efficient conservation actions, but this still fragmented and/or difficult access. As step forward, we provide an updated list around 3000 European bee hoverfly species, reflecting current distributional status level (in form present, absent, regionally extinct, possibly extinct or non‐native). This work was attainable incorporating both published unpublished data, as well from large set taxonomists ecologists groups. After providing first National species lists for bees hoverflies many countries, examine patterns these designate countries with highest richness. We also show that recorded single country, highlighting importance articulating strategies. Finally, discuss how data provided here can be combined future trait Red List research will further advance pollinator conservation.
