BeeWatch
Are you a keen photographer? We need your help to map the distributions of our bumblebees, particularly the rarer species.
All you need to do is take digital photographs of any unusual species that you see and upload them by clicking here.
The BeeWatch tool will guide you through some easy questions to help you to identify the bumblebee in your photo. Once your photo has been verified by one of our experts we will email you back to let you know just how good your bumblebee ID skills are!
BeeWalk
This survey scheme helps us to monitor bumblebee population changes and will allow us to detect early warning signs of population declines. It is also a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a sunny day.
In order to collect this important information our volunteers pick a fixed-route of 1-2km and record what they see on each monthly walk.
This survey would be impossible without the help of volunteers. If you would like to take part, please email beewalk@bumblebeeconservation.org for more information
"We are facing a fundamental problem with the decline of bees and other pollinators. They have an absolutely crucial role in pollinating many of our important crops - without them we will face higher food costs and potential shortages."
