Bee ID & Conservation Workshop

Furry, brightly-coloured and instantly recognisable, bumblebees are icons of the British summer, and they also contribute a huge amount to the British economy through pollinating crops. But they’re in trouble.

Bumblebees are declining across the country (we’ve already lost two species), and to better understand the reasons why, we need data – lots of data – on where we can find the remaining bees, how many there are and what they’re doing.

Join this workshop to discover the three different ways that you can help track the UK’s bumblebees.  The workshop will help you hone skills on bumblebee identification and a general overview on their ecology, to discuss what we may be able to do to help this important group of species.
